Tonight's Lineup: Chase Utley still here, will lead off

Share

It appears Chase Utley will be in a Phillies uniform for at least one more day.

The veteran second baseman will lead off as the Phils are in Milwaukee for a three-game set with the Brewers.

Utley, who cleared waivers this week, has been the subject of trade rumors. According to a report, the Giants have made an offer. The Cubs and Dodgers remain interested in Utley's services as well.

Cesar Hernandez will get the nod at third base as Maikel Franco continues to nurse a sore left wrist. He suffered the injury when he was hit by a pitch against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday night.

Cameron Rupp will catch his third straight game. Rupp has played the hero twice on the current road trip. He blasted a monster solo homer in the 12th inning last Friday against the Padres and hit a three-run opposite field shot to put the Phillies up for good against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

Here is tonight's lineup:

1. Chase Utley, 2B
2. Cesar Hernandez, 3B
3. Odubel Herrera, CF
4. Ryan Howard, 1B
5. Domonic Brown, RF
6. Freddy Galvis, SS
7. Cody Asche, LF
8. Cameron Rupp, C
9. Adam Morgan, P
