Asche (oblique) will start the season on the disabled list, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Asche has missed every spring training game due to the injury, and it appears that the issue is bad enough that he'll need to start the season on the shelf. With this development, recently-acquired Will Venable, David Lough, and Cedric Hunter are the leaders to garner the final reserve outfielder spot on the Phillies 25-man roster.
