Phillies Lineup

With the dust mostly settled on their offseason, a projection of the Phillies’ 2025 lineups and most important players against right-handed and left-handed pitchers.

Nick Castellanos is in rare company with 162 starts and he’s been the Phillies’ most consistent hitter of late, saving his best work for September.

The Phillies are a bit short-handed to end the regular season without two outfielders.

The division lead is back up to eight games, they’ve recaptured the best record in the National League and the Phillies appear to have finally righted the ship this week at home.

Brandon Marsh faced another lefty on Tuesday and could earn more playing time with his performance, while Bryson Stott sat in favor of Edmundo Sosa.

The last three times the Phillies have faced a lefty, it’s been Edmundo Sosa and not Bryson Stott at second base. Has it become a platoon? Manager Rob Thomson discussed.

Alec Bohm is fine, and his day off Tuesday was not a response to his two-error game Monday, Rob Thomson said.

The Phillies’ patience with Johan Rojas is paying off as he’s shown promising signs at the plate in their last 10 games.

Built around power in the lineup, power in the bullpen and steadiness in the rotation, two of the Phillies’ three units have held up their end of the bargain through six series.

Whit Merrifield hasn’t played much lately but was in the Phillies’ lineup Monday. “I think it’s taken its toll on the quality of his at-bats, not playing every day,” Rob Thomson said.

A day after providing the bulk of their offense in an Opening Day loss to the Braves, Brandon Marsh was out of the Phillies’ lineup Saturday in Game 2 of 162.
