Phillips announced Sunday via his personal Instagram account that he has retired from professional baseball.
Analysis
Phillips will hang up his cleats after spending parts of seven major-league seasons as an outfielder before attempting to make a return to baseball as a pitcher in 2024 with the Yankees organization. After failing to record an out while allowing five earned runs in his lone appearance as a pitcher for Single-A Tampa in 2024, Phillips elected free agency last November and spent the 2025 campaign in the independent ranks with the Cleburne Railroaders and Kane County Cougars before the latter club released him in June. During his time in the big leagues, the 31-year-old compiled a career batting average of .187 with 31 home runs, 99 RBI, 122 runs scored and 39 stolen bases over 393 games with the Brewers, Royals, Rays, Orioles and Angels.
