Cave could be in line for an uptick in playing time with the Phillies following the injury to Rhys Hoskins (knee).

EDGE Analysis

Cave might have already been playing his way onto the roster with a big spring which has seen him slash .425/.477/.875 with three homers, 12 RBI and one stolen base. Now he could get a lot of run against right-handers, whether that comes in the designated hitter spot or in right field if the Phils want to put Nick Castellanos at DH. Cave showed flashes early on during his days with the Twins but has just a .614 OPS over the last three seasons. He was claimed off waivers by Philadelphia in December.

Cave was claimed off waivers by the Phillies on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Cave was claimed by the Orioles shortly after the end of the regular season, but he was placed on outright assignment waivers a couple months later. Now in Philadelphia and coming off a .644 OPS season, Cave will likely take on a depth role in the Phillies' outfield.

Cave went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Guardians.

Cave entered the game as a pinch hitter for Kyle Garlick in the top of the sixth inning. He made the most of it, recording a triple to lead off the inning, but was later thrown out at home on a fielder's choice. Cave singled again in the eighth inning to notch his third multi-hit game in his last eight contests. In that stretch, he is 8-for-21 with four extra-base hits as he makes his case for increased playing time.

EDGE Analysis

Cave had started in the Twins' last two matchups with right-handed pitchers, but he'll take a seat Sunday even while the White Sox bring righty Lucas Giolito to the hill. Kyle Garlick will spell Cave in left field.
