The strides he made helped him become an everyday player for the first time in his career. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>But lately, amid his first extended slump of the season, there\u2019s been regression. In 20 plate appearances against lefties in July, Marsh has been held to a .105 average. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Marsh had a well-hit fly ball against Justin Wrobleski on Tuesday that was caught on the warning track, which was Mattingly\u2019s justification for not pinch-hitting for him in the ninth inning against Dodgers left-handed closer Tanner Scott. Marsh wound up hitting a 47.5 mph ground ball, and two ensuing baserunning miscues led to a game-ending double-play.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been planning, when we see the lefties coming back-to-back like this, we\u2019ve always been trying to give him a day in that,\u201d Mattingly said. \u201cIt is something that I\u2019m thinking about and looking at, because obviously the numbers haven\u2019t been great against the lefties. I liked some of his at-bats early, but that seems to have been a battle as we\u2019ve gone on.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The addition of right-handed hitting Bryan De La Cruz to the roster has given Mattingly some more flexibility. De La Cruz, an outfielder, started in right field on Wednesday. Edmundo Sosa started in left and Derek Hill started in center. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>De La Cruz was activated Tuesday after Garrett Stubbs landed on the injured list with left wrist inflammation. Mattingly said the injury was something Stubbs had been \u201cdealing with\u201d for a while.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI just think another right-hand bat in the outfield, it frees Sosa up a little bit for the infield, because we can go all right out there if we want,\u201d Mattingly said. \u201c \u2026 It kind of gives you the second at-bat if we get to the mode where we pinch-hit, and then you get back to the next guy, and they go left-handed on a lefty. That gives you an extra guy. So that\u2019s the thought right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=2973\">Ida Schmertz, pioneering women\u2019s activist, political innovator, and former American Express senior vice president, has died at 91<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Mattingly managed De La Cruz previously in Miami. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cHe could play all three, probably better in right or left, but comfortable at all three spots in the outfield,\u201d Mattingly said. \u201cSo it gives us another guy out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Not skipping the fifth starter<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The Phillies will not skip the fifth spot in their starting rotation during their upcoming series against the Yankees, Mattingly announced. They will instead keep everyone in order. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The Phillies have lost the last 10 games started by the fifth spot of the rotation, a streak that includes Andrew Painter\u2019s last five appearances before he was optioned in June. With an off day on Thursday, the team could bypass the No. 5 turn entirely by having the rest of the rotation pitch on regular rest. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>But Mattingly said his bigger concern is the starters\u2019 long-term health. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cGiving them that, take advantage of the off days when we can,\u201d Mattingly said. \u201cWe\u2019ll have stretches where they\u2019re on every fifth. But try to take advantage. I mean, it\u2019s kind of the backbone of our club, and it\u2019s not one of those things you want to take chances with. Anything can happen, but I think we, as much as we can, we want to try to keep those guys, give them the extra day.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Mattingly declined to announce yet who will take the ball when the No. 5 spot comes up on Saturday against the Yankees. Since he was optioned on June 20, Alan Rangel is ineligible to be recalled until Aug. 4, unless an injury occurs on the major league club.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Extra bases<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Painter made his fourth appearance for triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday. In five innings, he allowed two earned runs on seven hits and one walk. Painter struck out eight. \u2026 Following Thursday\u2019s off day, Jes\u00fas Luzardo (9-4, 3.43 ERA) will start the series opener Friday against Yankees right-hander Will Warren (7-4, 4.03).<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=2971\">How 6,600 noncitizens were registered to vote in New Jersey and what happens next<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 20 plate appearances against lefties in July, Marsh has been held to a .105 average.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2976,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2977","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
