ALLENTOWN - Cody Asche waited two innings Tuesday night before seeing his first action in the field at triple-A Lehigh Valley. The third baseman turned leftfielder charged a shallow fly ball, called off the shortstop, and made the catch. Asche's outfield project was underway.
Tuesday night, Asche said, was his first game in left field since a Florida Instructional League game in 2011. He was optioned to triple A after Monday's Phillies game. Asche had just three hits in his last 29 at-bats with the Phils. His move to the outfield makes way for prospect Maikel Franco, who could join the big-league team this weekend.
