Slow start to season Phillips went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Monday's loss to the Athletics. Impact Phillips has been in the starting lineup for two of Tampa Bay's four games this season, splitting time with Manuel Margot. Though a small sample, Phillips has struggled to make contact early, striking out in four of his nine plate appearances. His recent track record suggests he'll continue to struggle at the dish, but he'll remain a regular presence in the lineup due to his defensive ability as an outfielder.
