Brian Bogusevic makes his starting debut for the Phillies tonight after homering as a pinch-hitter in his first at-bat with the team Monday.

His home run on Labor Day was one of just six Phillies hits against the Braves.

Bogusevic starts in left field and bats sixth Tuesday night. Darnell Sweeney has the night off.

Freddy Galvis is also out of the lineup, giving way to Andres Blanco at shortstop.
