Brandon Phillips

Brandon Phillips (knee) out of Reds' lineup on Monday

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips (knee) is out of the starting lineup Monday against the Miami Marlins.

What It Means:

Phillips was forced to leave Sunday's contest early after suffering a left knee contusion. He has also been battling a quad injury. Tony Renda -- and his .176 wOBA this season (10 plate appearances) -- will get the start at second base and hit seventh Monday.

Phillips is slashing .282/.319/.403 with eight home runs, eight stolen bases and a .310 wOBA in 440 plate appearances this year. We project him to hit three more jacks and post a .708 OPS over the remaining course of the season.
