The MLB Immaculate grid for July 11 is out. The second horizontal cross-section of the grid features Tampa Bay Rays and Los Angeles Angels. This means that the answer to the grid would be the names of players who have played for both the Tampa Bay Rays and the Los Angeles Angels in their careers.

Numerous players have played for both these teams during their careers, one of them being Brett Phillips.

On Aug. 27, 2020, Phillips was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays. He had a memorable moment in Game 4 of the 2020 World Series, hitting a walk-off single, becoming the first player since 1988 to do so in the World Series with two outs while trailing.

In 2021, he made his MLB pitching debut, allowing one run in one inning. Phillips also achieved a record-breaking feat by hitting three grand slams and an inside-the-park home run in only 19 days, surpassing Babe Ruth's record. However, he was designated for assignment on Aug. 1, 2022.

The Los Angeles Angels signed Phillips to a one-year, $1.2 million deal on Jan. 9, 2023. He played in 20 games for the Angels, with a batting average of .077, 3 walks, and 2 RBIs. On May 20, he was designated for assignment when Jared Walsh returned from the injured list. Phillips cleared waivers and was subsequently sent outright to the Triple-A Salt Lake Bees on May 24.
