What is the story about?
Another
day, another game without Kyle Schwarber in the Phillies starting lineup. Don Mattingly told reporters that Schwarber’s back tightness is feeling better and that he could possibly return to the lineup tonight. Schwarber did appear in tue game last night as a pinch hitter and worked a walk after a ten pitch at-bat that set up Derek Hill to be the hero. But still, it would be nice to see confirmation that he’s healthy enough to be in the starting lineup.
