Joseph is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.
With the Phillies due to face a tough right-hander in Jacob deGrom, Philadelphia manager Pete Mackanin will hold Joseph out for the second time this season, allowing the lefty-hitting Brock Stassi to pick up a start at first base. Joseph doesn't look to be in danger of falling into a platoon just yet, but he'll need to pick up the pace after getting off to a slow start -- 2-for-20 with eight strikeouts in six games.
