Phillies' Bryson Stott: Out again versus lefty

Stott is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Marlins.

He was out of the lineup Tuesday against a lefty and will also begin this one on the bench as the Marlins send southpaw Trevor Rogers to the hill. Stott did pinch hit in Tuesday's contest, so perhaps another mid-game appearance is possible. Whit Merrifield is handling second base for the Phillies on Thursday.
