Asche's playing time will be impacted when Aaron Altherr is ready to come off the disabled list later this month, Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Altherr, who is recovering from a wrist injury, must be activated from the disabled list no later than July 28. If the Phillies don't trade Peter Bourjos this month then Asche may have to split time in left field. Things will get complicated further when the Phillies decide to give top prospect Nick Williams a look in the outfield in August or September.
