Ryan Howard (rest) not in Phillies lineup tonight
Ryan Howard is not in the Phillies starting lineup tonight against the Braves. Andres Blanco will start at first base and bat second.
What It Means:
Ryan Howard will sit against Braves lefty Alex Wood. The switch hitting Andres Blanco has played well in limited action this year with a .364 wOBA, and is a better hitter against lefties. Wood surrenders a .328 wOBA to righties, which gives Blanco an opportunity to get some offense going tonight.
