There will be two main focuses this spring training for the Philadelphia Phillies — how the back end of the rotation will fill out, as well as who will earn primary duties in center field for the team.
In regards to the latter question, Adam Haseley, Roman Quinn, and Scott Kingery are expected to compete, as well as non-roster invitee Matt Joyce and possibly Odubel Herrera. On Monday, a sixth name was added to the mix, only further complicating the situation. The Phillies signed six-year veteran outfielder Travis Jankowski to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training.
