The Phillies could give Joseph a look at first base with Darin Ruf struggling to produce this season, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.
Ruf has hit just .164 with a .413 OPS and 18 strikeouts in 55 at-bats this season. He destroyed left-handed pitching last season, so the Phils could opt to stick with him a bit longer. If not, Joseph looks ready for an opportunity. He is hitting .368/.391/.655 with six home runs in 87 at-bats for Triple-A Lehigh Valley. His playing time would likely be limited, at least initially, while on the short side of a platoon with Ryan Howard.
