The Phillies bench is finally evolving into a formidable bunch

After releasing Logan Forsythe and granting a roster spot to Neil Walker on Saturday, the Phillies have nearly set their bench for the 2020 season.

Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia says that the team will carry a five-man bench with Jay Bruce likely to be the starting Designated Hitter.
