ICARO Media Group
The Philadelphia Phillies have announced their lineup for the first home game of spring training, where they will face the New York Yankees at 1:05 p.m. The game will be broadcasted on NBC Sports Philadelphia, with Aaron Nola set to start and pitch two innings. Key relievers are also expected to get playing time during the game.
Facing the Yankees' split-squad, Marcus Stroman will be pitching for the opposing team, who will also be playing simultaneously against the Toronto Blue Jays in Tampa. The Phillies' lineup features Trea Turner, Bryson Stott, Nick Castellanos, and Kyle Schwarber batting in the top four spots, with Weston Wilson set to bat fifth after a notable performance in the previous game. Schwarber's positioning in the lineup, especially as a leadoff hitter, has garnered particular interest despite it still being February.
