Daily News | Phillies’ Alec Bohm still not at 3B, J.T. Realmuto leads off, Bryce Harper bats second as the lineup changes
MIAMI — The top of the Phillies lineup looked quite different heading into their game against the Marlins on Sunday afternoon. Manager Joe Girardi kept catcher J.T. Realmuto in the leadoff spot, but moved Kyle Schwarber down to bat fifth; he also moved Bryce Harper to second, and Nick Castellanos to third. The final product looked like this:
“I think ironing out the leadoff hitter is important,” he said, “but we’ve liked what J.T. has done. And I think Segura is always an option there on days where J.T. doesn’t play. Harper traditionally hasn’t fared as well batting second as he has elsewhere in the lineup. Over 211 games, he’s hit .249/.329/.448 in the two-hole, and .285/.411/.545 in the three-hole, where he’s batted for the majority of his career .
Infielder Alec Bohm, the Phillies’ hottest hitter right now, was notably absent from the Phillies lineup on Sunday. He started on Saturday at DH, knocking in three runs on two hits. He hasn’t played a game at third base since April 11 against the Mets, when he committed three errors.
