Michael Kopech

Phillips missed the Fall Classic due to shoulder inflammation, so it's an extremely encouraging development that he won't require offseason surgery, which would've kept him sidelined for most of next season. The 30-year-old closer, who converted 18 of 22 save opportunities last year, figures to enter spring training without any restrictions. He'll have to beat out burgeoning relief ace Michael Kopech for the right to close out games for Los Angeles' imposing Death Star.
