PHILADELPHIA —
With Bader sidelined, the Phillies started Brandon Marsh in center field and right-handed hitters Otto Kemp in left field and Nick Castellanos in right against Dodgers lefty Blake Snell.
Bader hit .277 with 17 home runs and 54 RBIs this season, split between Minnesota and the Phillies. He secured the starting center field spot after he was acquired in a trade-deadline deal.
Also against the two-time Cy Young Award Winner Snell, the Phillies started right-handed hitter Edmundo Sosa at second base instead of Bryson Stott. Sosa hit three home runs in a game last month against Miami.
