Yankees' Brett Phillips: Joins Yankees as pitcher
The New York Yankees signed Brett Phillips to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.Phillips had played the outfield since entering the professional ranks in 2012, but he'll make the conversion to pitching as he joins the Yankees organization. The 30-year-old made his pitching debut Monday in the National Baseball Congress World Series and was throwing in the mid- to high-90s, which immediately earned him an opportunity in affiliated ball. He'll report to the Yankees' spring training complex in Florida initially.

Brett Phillips went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 loss against the Mariners.Phillips opened the scoring in the third inning with a solo homer off Luis Castillo, his second long ball in 28 games this season. The 29-year-old outfielder has made eight straight starts since he was recalled from Triple-A on Sept. 6, going 8-for-25 (.320) in that span.

Angels' Brett Phillips: Nabs eighth consecutive start
Brett Phillips will start in right field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.With Mickey Moniak (back) and Shohei Ohtani (oblique) having not started in the past week and with Mike Trout (wrist) still on the injured list, Phillips has been one of the prime beneficiaries from a playing-time standpoint. Phillips, who will pick up his eighth straight start in the outfield Wednesday, has gone 6-for-22 (.273 average) with one home run, two RBI and four runs. Though he's performed well thus far since his call-up from Triple-A Salt Lake earlier this month, Phillips is striking out at a 44 percent clip, which suggests his batting average could soon be trending downward.
