Cincinnati Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips (flu) is out of the lineup again on Thursday versus the Philadelphia Phillies.
Phillips had to be scratched from Wednesday's game after coming down with flu-like symptoms. There seems to be a two-day flu bug traveling around MLB clubhouses. Jordan Pacheco is starting at second base and batting sixth against right-hander Charlie Morton.
Our metrics expect Phillips to post a .303 wOBA with a .279/.316/.379 slash this season while also stealing 17 bases on the year.
