Saunders will start in right field and bat fifth Sunday against the Cardinals, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Saunders' fantasy value looked to be trending downward after he began to lose out on at-bats following the recent activation of Howie Kendrick, but it appears he could soon settle back into a near-everyday role. With second base Cesar Hernandez (oblique) landing on the disabled list, Kendrick will shift over to the keystone in Sunday's game, and could end up settling in at the position for the duration of Hernandez's absence. If that's the case, It would likely open up a regular spot for Saunders in the outfield, giving the Phillies another power threat in the middle of the lineup.
