Brian Bogusevic B. Bogusevic

Brian Bogusevic batting third for Phillies Monday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brian Bogusevic will bat third for the Phillies Monday when they face the Washington Nationals.

What It Means:

This is a big move up in the order for Bogusevic, who hadn't hit higher than seventh in his previous starts this season. Aaron Altherr will bat clean-up with Ryan Howard moved down to fifth.

Bogusevic was more known for his speed than his pure bat in Triple-A this season, swiping 24 bags in 515 plate appearances. He posted a .296/.359/.424 slash and hit 12 home runs. With that in mind -- and Jordan Zimmermann starting for the Nationals -- Bogusevic is still a bottom-10 play on FanDuel Monday, according to our projections.
