Ruiz Goes 0-fer
Carlos Ruiz started his fifth game of the season on Monday and went 0-for-3 against the Reds. Given that there isn’t much upside in backup Chris Coste, Ruiz should get the opportunity to play five times a week for most of the season unless the Phillies bring in a more capable veteran to split time with Ruiz at some point down the road. He’ll hit eighth for most of the season, but Ruiz has a lot of big bats setting the table in front of him and he’s a good early season buy-low candidate. (Rotowire)
