The exterior field of Philadelphia Phillies is not something that someone would call for the strength of the team.
Coming on Saturday’s match against the New York Yankees, while the Phillies are trying to guarantee their second consecutive victory in series against an opponent of the American League, only Nick Castellanos can be considered as an above average with its OPS + and WRC + figures being respectively 103 and 105.

And unfortunately for Philadelphia, they do not have it in alignment on Saturday.
According to Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic, Castellanos launches the day after blocked her knee by approaching the good wall on the field during the final game on Friday match. Manager Rob Thomson said the slugger was a bit painful, so they kept it out of alignment and will come back on Sunday.
Taking over in the right field will be Max Kepler, with Brandon Marsh moving to the left and Johan Rojas in the center.

This trio which starts a game together is the worst case for phillies.
While Thomson went in this search for defensive reasons at the end of the matches, it is an offensive group limited with the WRC + of Mars of 86 – 14 points below the average of the League – being the best of the group, followed by the Kepler decried to a figure of 83 then from Rojas to 63.

If this does not point out to the front office that Philadelphia needs to find another external field option, then nothing will.
The good news is that Castellanos’s injury does not seem serious, because it seems to be sitting until Saturday for reasons of precaution.
