Darnell Sweeney batting fifth in Phillies' lineup Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Darnell Sweeney will bat fifth and play left field Wednesday as the Phillies face the Atlanta Braves.

What It Means:

Sweeney was not in the lineup Tuesday as Brian Bogusevic took the spot. Bogusevic is not in the lineup Wednesday.

Sweeney is an intriguing option every time he's on the field. He has a combo of speed and power that allowed him to swipe 32 bags in Triple-A prior to his promotion, though his stick lagged behind with a .271/.332/.409 slash. We don't have much to go with for him at the majors, but Sweeney does have a 42.3 percent hard-hit rate in his first 46 plate appearances.
