Connor Phillips gets one final chance to prove himself after Reds injury news

The Cincinnati Reds recalled right-handed reliever Connor Phillips from Triple-A Louisville after placing Tony Santillan on the injured list with a left hip labral tear. Phillips, who hasn't pitched in the majors since May 23, struggled earlier this season with a 5.53 ERA before being optioned down, though he has posted a 1.04 ERA this month at Louisville. The 25-year-old prospect, acquired from Seattle in the 2022 Suárez-Winker trade, will have limited opportunities in the final week of the season to prove he deserves to remain on the Reds' roster, as the team looks to clear 40-man roster spots this offseason.
