Aaron Altherr's audition continues Wednesday night.
The Phillies put out the same lineup on Wednesday as they were going to use on Tuesday before the game was rained out.
For Altherr, it's his sixth straight start. Howie Kendrick's oblique injury has provided the 26-year-old outfielder another chance to play regularly, and so far, so good for Altherr. He's 9 for 21 with three doubles, a homer, four RBIs and seven runs scored over his last six games.
Altherr is also the Phillies' best defensive outfielder, so if he continues to hit it will be tough for Pete Mackanin to pull him out of the lineup when Kendrick is ready to return. That's where Kendrick's versatility comes into play - he could play first base or second base on any given night, opening up a spot in the corner outfield for Altherr.
