Joyce is out of lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Joyce started in both of the last two games, but he'll head to the bench with Bryce Harper (wrist/face) checking back into the lineup. The 36-year-old has picked up just 32 plate appearances on the season and will likely fill a limited bench role now that the Phillies have both of their everyday corner outfielders (Harper and Andrew McCutchen) healthy.

Joyce was told Friday that he'd won a roster spot, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Joyce joined the Phillies as a non-roster invitee in February and evidently did enough to earn a bench spot. He's limited defensively to the outfield corners, so he won't find himself in the lineup on a regular basis unless Bryce Harper or Andrew McCutchen gets hurt, which limits his fantasy value even in deep formats, but he should still help the Phillies as a bench bat.

Joyce has a strong chance to win a bench spot this spring, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Joyce is in camp as a non-roster invitee, but he made Gelb's projected Opening Day roster, which is based on conversations with scouts and team officials. Joyce won't be stealing many at-bats in the outfield corners from Bryce Harper and Andrew McCutchen, but he fits in well as a pinch hitter. He'll have to do enough in camp to convince the Phillies to designate someone for assignment to make room for him, but starting spring training by going 5-for-10 with three walks certainly doesn't hurt.

Joyce signed a minor-league contract with the Phillies on Wednesday as a non-roster invitee, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Joyce will join his fourth team in as many seasons and will compete for a platoon role on the major-league roster heading into the 2021 campaign. The 36-year-old appeared in 46 games for Miami last year, slashing .252/.351/.331 with two home runs and 14 RBI.

Joyce will sit for Game 3 of the NLDS against the Braves on Thursday, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Joyce sits even with a righty (Kyle Wright) on the mound for Atlanta. Jon Berti moves out to right field in his absence, with Jazz Chisholm getting a start at second base.

Joyce will be on the bench for Game 1 of the NLDS against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

As usual, Joyce hits the bench with a lefty (Max Fried) on the mound for the opposition. Lewis Brinson starts in right field in his absence.

Joyce is out of the lineup Friday against the Yankees, Andre Fernandez of Sirius XM Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Joyce will once again take a seat with left-hander J.A. Happ starting for the Yankees. Lewis Brinson receives the start in right field for the Marlins.

Joyce isn't in Wednesday's lineup against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Joyce will get a day off with southpaw Max Fried taking the mound for Atlanta on Wednesday. Lewis Brinson will take over in right field.

Joyce will be on the bench against lefty Patrick Corbin and the Nationals on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran outfielder hasn't made a single start against a southpaw all season, and that trend will continue here. Lewis Brinson takes over in right field in his absence.

Joyce isn't in the lineup for the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Even with a right-hander (Wil Crowe) on the mound for the Nationals, Joyce will take a breather for the second game of Friday's twin bill. Lewis Brinson will take his place in right field.
