X-ray results on Phillips' left ring finger came back negative following his early exit from Monday's game against the Mets.

Analysis:

Despite receiving positive news, it's entirely possible for Phillips to miss time out of the lineup with potential swelling and soreness. If that happens, Ivan De Jesus is the most likely candidate to replace the veteran, since De Jesus also replaced Phillips on Monday.
