Phillies third baseman Cody Asche is not in the lineup Sunday for the third straight day, and the team will discuss whether he needs a trip to the disabled list, MLB.com reports.
"We have to talk about it," manager Ryne Sandberg said Sunday. "That’s three days. That’ll be a discussion. We do have six bench guys. As we go forward, we’ll probably add an arm out there (in the bullpen). We need to discuss that."
Asche tested the injured hamstring with light jogging Sunday morning but didn't feel any improvement. He said Saturday that he had played through the discomfort for six or seven games with the athletic staff treating the injury, but he did not like the way things were headed, so he and the team are hoping rest will cure the issue.
