Tonight's Lineup: Tommy Joseph Sits, Daniel Nava in Left Field

Tommy Joseph is out of the Phillies' lineup for Monday's series opener against the Braves after striking out three times Sunday.

Rhys Hoskins gets the start at first base, with Daniel Nava in left field.

Hoskins has homered in eight straight days the Phillies have played. This will be his first time facing the Braves, who the Phillies have beaten in 11 of 13 meetings this season.

The Phils' 11-2 record vs. Atlanta has been fueled mostly by the successes of Odubel Herrera and Aaron Altherr, who both remain on the DL with hamstring injuries.

But the Phils have also pitched very well against the Braves, posting a 3.28 ERA. That includes an eight-inning, one-run gem from Aaron Nola, who gets the nod tonight.
