Brandon Phillips: Planning to play

Phillips said Monday that he intends to play in the majors this season, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

Phillips spent most of the 2018 campaign at Triple-A Pawtucket in the Red Sox organization before receiving a September callup. He made little impact in the season's final month for Boston, appearing in nine games and hitting .130/.259/.261 with one homer and a 4:7 BB:K.
