What It Means:

It's Bruce's fourth consecutive absence due to a left hamstring injury, though it's possible he returns for Game 2 Wednesday night in Washington. Sean Rodriguez is playing left field again and batting sixth in the matinee versus Nationals left-hander Patrick Corbin.

Bruce has gone 12-for-39 (.308) with 5 home runs, 2 doubles, 13 RBI, and 9 runs scored in 11 games for the Phillies.
