Nava went 3-for-6 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Nava started in left field for a second straight game Monday and has a chance to carve out some significant playing time while Howie Kendrick covers second base for the injured Cesar Hernandez (oblique). Nava's primary competition for at-bats is Michael Saunders, who has just one hit this month and has struggled for most of the season. Manager Pete Mackanin indicated that Saunders would sit the next three games with the Phillies expected to face three left-handed starters. Nava will likely be in the lineup for all three games.
