Cave is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Cave slugged three home runs and doubled twice in his last three starts to improve his playing-time outlook, but he will open Monday's game on the bench with southpaw Scott Alexander on the bump for the opponent. Edmundo Sosa will jump into the lineup with several players moving around to account for Cave's absence.

Cave will start in left field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Though Brandon Marsh (knee) is starting in center field his return from the 10-day injured list, Cave will retain a spot in the lineup over Johan Rojas with right-hander Trevor Williams on the bump for Washington. While having Rojas play center field and Marsh in left field would bolster the Philadelphia outfield defensively, Cave may be providing too much value with the bat at the moment to justify losing out on regular playing time versus right-handed pitching. While starting each of the past three games, Cave has gotten on base at a .538 clip and has provided four extra-base hits (two home runs, two doubles).

Cave is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Though he'll take a seat Wednesday with southpaw Braxton Garrett on the hill for Miami, the lefty-hitting Cave could soon see his opportunities to play against right-handed pitching trend down as well. Cave already sat against Marlins righty Sandy Alcantara on Tuesday, paving the way for rookie Johan Rojas to make another start in the outfield. Rojas will get his fourth straight start Wednesday and has provided a .678 OPS to go along with three stolen bases in his brief time in the big leagues this season. Cave has matched him with three steals but owns a much lower OPS (.596).

Brandon Marsh will cover left field and Johan Rojas is playing center as the Phillies take on right-hander Sandy Alcantara. The left-handed-hitting Cave holds an overall .218/.274/.322 slash line in 96 major-league plate appearances this year and could continue to lose playing time if he's unable to pick it up down the stretch.

Cave is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis
