Brandon Phillips is getting closer to the big leagues.

The Pawtucket Red Sox on Saturday announced that the former All-Star has been promoted to Triple-A.


With Dustin Pedroia sidelined for possibly the rest of the season, and Eduardo Nunez pressed into duty at third base because of a Rafael Devers injury, the Red Sox could use a right-handed complement to Brock Holt at second base.

Enter Phillips?

He hit .285 with 13 homers and 11 steals between the Braves and Angels last year. The 37-year-old was an All-Star in 2010, 2011 and 2013. He won Gold Gloves in each of those seasons, as well as in 2008. He also reached 30 homers (2007) and 100 RBIs (2013) during his career.
