Freddy Galvis is set to return to the Phillies starting lineup for the first time since Sept. 29, 2017. He’ll bat sixth and play shortstop against left-handed starter Ryan Yarborough on Wednesday against the Rays.
Galvis should get a handful of starts at shortstop, a position he’s played nearly 500 games at with the Phillies. It wouldn’t be surprising to see the switch-hitting Galvis in the lineup against southpaws, especially on days when the left-handed hitting Didi Gregorius needs a night off.
The 31-year-old has spent time at short, third base, second base and even the outfield.
