Today's Lineup: Howie Kendrick misses 4th straight, Ty Kelly starts at second base

Share

After being demolished, 9-2, Saturday, Ty Kelly gets a rare start for the Phillies in Game 3 of four vs. the Diamondbacks (4:10/CSN).

Howie Kendrick will miss his fourth straight game while dealing with hamstring tightness. 

"We're just being cautious," manager Pete Mackanin said after Saturday’s loss.

Kelly will start at second base in his place. Andres Blanco had started the previous three games in Kendrick’s absence, where he went 1 for 11.

Kelly has hit .229 on the season with as many hits (8) as strikeouts. Kelly will bat eighth for the Phillies.

Freddy Galvis remains in the two-hole after picking up two hits Saturday. That's his fourth-straight game with at least two hits. Galvis is now hitting .300 in the month of June.

Jeremy Hellickson takes the mound for the Phillies, looking to build off of his best start of the month in his last outing. For more on Hellickson facing his former team, check out today’s game notes (see game notes)
