Phillies' Drew Ellis: Hits bench Wednesday
Drew Ellis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.Ellis had started in each of the Philadelphia Phillies' last five games, but aside from turning in a big two-home run, three-RBI performance in Sunday's 11-3 win over the Nationals, he's otherwise come up largely empty at the plate (1-for-13 with two walks and five strikeouts). He'll give way to Josh Harrison at third base Wednesday, though Ellis should have some security in a near-everyday role at a corner-infield spot until the Phillies get one of Darick Hall (thumb) or Alec Bohm (hamstring) back from the injured list.

Phillies' Drew Ellis: Reaches safely five times in win
Drew Ellis went 3-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run, a two-run home run and two additional runs scored in Sunday's 11-3 victory over the Nationals.Ellis is filling in at third base for Alec Bohm, who was recently placed on the injured list with a hamstring issue. The former has drawn three straight starts and burst onto the scene Sunday. Coming into the contest, the 2017 second-round pick had hit just one home run across 109 career plate appearances, so it may be a stretch to expect this type of power on a regular basis. Regardless, Ellis figures to continue drawing starts with Bohm sidelined and has showcased a patient approach at the plate, drawing a walk in each of his first three starts with Philadelphia.
