Phillies have one month to figure out best outfield alignment

The Phillies have a month to go in the regular season. One of the more intriguing roster decisions will be what to do with two thirds of the outfield.

Right field is a given. Despite going through a deep slump early in the season, Nick Castellanos has rebounded to become a consistent producer in the Phillies order. His place in the everyday lineup can no longer be questioned.

What the Phillies do in left and center field is up in the air, though Rob Thomson’s lineups over the last week tell most of the story.

Against right-handed starters, Thomson has preferred a combination of Austin Hays in left field and Brandon Marsh in center.
