PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies announced Monday that they optioned outfielder Cedric Hunter to Triple-A Lehigh Valley and selected the contract of outfielder David Lough.
Lough was in the lineup Monday night against the Mets, playing left field.
Philadelphia has struggled to find production anywhere offensively, but the problems have been especially pronounced in the corner-outfield spots. Phillies left fielders have combined for a .248 OPS, with just three hits in 40 at-bats over the team's first 13 games.
Hunter posted a .088/.139/.176 slash line in 34 at-bats.
Lough was among the final cuts when the Phillies headed north from Spring Training.
