Sean Murphy will serve as the designated hitter while Marcell Ozuna sits. Brian Snitker has favored Ozuna over Baldwin at DH, though Baldwin’s performance could have greater organizational impact.

Bryson Stott is replaced at second base and bats eighth by Edmundo Sosa, while Weston Wilson starts in left and bats ninth. The game begins at 6:05 PM ET and will be broadcast on the usual channels, with a detailed pitching matchup preview available.
Sean Murphy gets the nod at designated hitter today, as Marcell Ozuna sits. There has been a frustrating trend of Brian Snitker playing Ozuna over Baldwin at DH, so at least one of the catchers is DHing today, but hopefully we can see more of Baldwin, as his performance has an ability to impact the organization in a way that Ozuna's is unlikely to. Murphy bats sixth and behind Baldwin, who is batting fifth.
Meanwhile, the Phillies have JT Realmuto rejoining their lineup, as Harrison Bader takes over in center for Brandon Marsh. At the bottom of their lineup, Bryson Stott is replaced at second base and batting eighth by Edmundo Sosa, and Weston Wilson steps in to play left field and bat ninth. Tonight's game starts at 6:05 PM ET and can be viewed on the normal spots. Check out more on the stellar pitching matchup in the game preview here.
