If it wasn’t a certainty before the season, it sure is now — the Phillies need help in center field.
Adam Haseley is on the restricted list due to personal reasons, Roman Quinn is struggling and Mickey Moniak has found success in recent days but is probably still a year or two of development away. Phillies center fielders have just five hits on the year.
Scott Kingery was called up from the team’s alternate training site in Lehigh Valley and appeared in center field in Wednesday’s game, but will likely see most of his playing time in the infield.
