Manager Pete Mackanin is considering giving Ruiz some additional playing time, Bill Whitehead of CSN Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ruiz has been splitting time behind the plate with Cameron Rupp, who has been seeing the majority of the playing time. He has hit for a better average than Rupp, and has three homers to Rupp's one. Ruiz is unlikely to see regular playing time as Mackanin believes he needs to keep him fresh with days off, but the time share behind the plate could become more evenly split if Rupp doesn't get his bat going.

Ruiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Ruiz will rest while Cameron Rupp starts at catcher and bats fifth. Ruiz splits time at catcher with Rupp, but since he started Saturday night, Rupp will get the start Sunday afternoon. Ruiz has gotten five hits in his last 10 at-bats.

Ruiz is batting fifth and starting at catcher Wednesday against the Mets, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ruiz will slot in the lineup with Cameron Rupp getting the day off. Ruiz isn't the hitter he used to be, but he has flashed some pop early on this season, already having belted two home runs and a double in only 24 plate appearances thus far.

Ruiz went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and a walk Sunday against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Ruiz's second blast of the season gave the Phillies an early lead in a game they eventually go on to win in extra innings. Despite the homer, he's mired in a 1-for-14 slump that has lowered his batting average to .190.

Ruiz is in the lineup and batting sixth for Friday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Ruiz went 0-for-3 with a walk in his last start Tuesday but will be back in the lineup Friday to give Cameron Rupp the day off.

Ruiz is in the lineup and batting fifth for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Ruiz will receive his third start of the season as the backup and has performed well thus far, hitting .273/.333/.626 with one home run and two RBI. He should have a favorable matchup with San Diego starting southpaw Robbie Erlin.

Ruiz is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres, according to Ryan Lawrence of PhillyVoice.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Pete Mackanin said last week that Ruiz would likely start the Phillies' home opener, but it turns out he changed course, and will stick with his regular catcher, Cameron Rupp, on Monday.

Ruiz went 2-for-3 with a home run, double, walk and two RBI in Thursday's loss to the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Ruiz is hitting .429 (3-for-7) with two extra-base hits including a home run through the team's first three games of the season. Although it's early, the good start is encouraging considering the catcher hit just .228 with only one extra-base hit and no home runs last April. At 37-years-old, Ruiz shouldn't be counted on in most formats, but he can sufficiently fill a gap in daily leagues if you're having to dig deep.

Ruiz is out of the lineup on Wednesday against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

After getting the start on Opening Day, Ruiz will cede the starting catcher job back to Cameron Rupp, who is expected to be the full-time starter this season. Ruiz went 1-for-4 with a run scored in the opener.

Ruiz is in the lineup for Monday's season opener against the Reds, MLB.com's Todd Zolecki reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Pete Mackanin wanted to give the veteran Ruiz the honor of starting Opening Day, so Ruiz will catch Jeremy Hellickson and hit fifth Monday afternoon. However, don't expect Ruiz to catch much, as Mackanin noted that Cameron Rupp will still see most of the action behind the plate for the Phillies moving forward.
