Pache started in center field and went 1-for-3 in a loss to the Phillies on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Pache's defense is already elite, but questions linger about his bat at this nascent stage of his big-league career. Therefore, it was encouraging to at least see him reach safely in his first game of what is expected to be at least a month-long starting stint while Ramon Laureano completes his suspension. The 23-year-old's longest majors stint to date came last season in Atlanta, when he produced a forgettable .111/.152/.206 slash line across 68 plate appearances.
