Segura could hit in the bottom third of the order for the Phillies this season, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Segura hit seventh Thursday against the Yankees in a lineup that looked much like the one the Phillies could roll out on Opening Day. Segura hit first or second in 109 of his 127 starts last season, but the Phillies beefed up their lineup with the additions of Kyle Schwarber and Nick Castellanos over the offseason. Segura is a perfectly capable hitter, but his 109 wRC+ last season is below what the Phillies expect from his new teammates.
