Philadelphia Phillies
Washington Nationals
I saw the lineup on twitter. I see Realmuto starting. I figured that today - day game after night game - would be a good time to get Knapp some playing time. And perhaps let Kingery and Williams or Altherr get some starts as well.
Looks like they will wait till the MN series to get some starts for the bench. All righty starters for MN and Saturday will be a day game after a night game. Look for Knapp and probably Williams to get a start in the series. Kingery and Altherr will have to wait for a LH starter.
With off days Monday and Thursday this week, I can see not resting any of the regulars today. Once they start the 6 or 7 games per week routine, I expect we will see Knapp and the other bench players getting a start every week or so to give someone the occasional off day.
