Joseph is not in the lineup Saturday against the Padres, Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com reports.

With righty Paul Clemens on the mound for San Diego, the Phillies will opt to go with lefty Ryan Howard at first base and give Joseph the night off. While Joseph's batting average has held steady at .250 over the last 16 games, the rookie slugger has increased his season OBP nearly 30 points due to the eight walks he's tallied during that time.
