Nieuwenhuis is starting in right field Sunday against the Phillies, Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com reports. Nieuwenhuis is making his first start in more than three weeks, as the promotion of Matt den Dekker has substantially cut into his playing time. A few weeks, it looked Nieuwenhuis would platoon is left, but den Dekker has seen most of the action at the position, while Curtis Granderson starts daily in right. Nieuwenhuis is getting the nod in right with Granderson scuffling at the plate..
