Manager Pete Mackanin said Eickhoff's spot in the Phillies' rotation is safe despite his poor outing Sunday, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eickhoff struggled to locate with his fastball Sunday against the Red Sox and allowed five runs on 11 hits over five innings. He struck out three and walked none. He is likely a bit rusty after being limited for most of camp with a fractured right thumb. He could pitch twice more before he makes his first start during the regular season.
