Ellis is expected to make his Phillies debut Sunday against the Mets, Meghan Montemurro of The News Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Acquired from the Dodgers on Thursday in exchange for Carlos Ruiz, Ellis is scheduled to catch Sunday's starter, Vince Velasquez, in what will be his first action in a Phillies uniform. The veteran has struggled mightily this season, posting a .194/.285/.252 slash line while with the Dodgers.

Ellis was traded to the Phillies on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The Phillies and Dodgers swapped backup catchers, as Carlos Ruiz will head to Los Angeles on the other end of the deal. Ellis has struggled mightily at the plate this season, holding a slash line of just .194/.285/.252, with his last hit coming over two weeks ago. He figures to continue serving in a backup capacity, giving Cameron Rupp the occasional day off behind the plate.

Ellis is in the lineup and batting eighth for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Ellis will get his third start in six games, but doesn't have a great matchup as he is hitting just .186 against right-handed pitching on the season, and opposing pitcher Junior Guerra has been throwing the ball well for Milwaukee, going 4-1 with a 3.67 ERA.

Ellis is out of the lineup Sunday against the Pirates, J.P. Hoornstra of the Southern California News Group reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ellis typically catches Sunday's starter, Clayton Kershaw, but the Dodgers will instead start Yasmani Grandal behind the plate Sunday evening. Ellis did get the start Saturday night in Pittsburgh and went 2-for-3 at the dish, but no word of an injury has surfaced since then. Whether or not Ellis starts the next time Kershaw takes the hill is a situation worth monitoring.

Ellis is in the lineup and batting seventh Wednesday against Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Ellis will make his 22nd start behind the dish this season in place of the slumping Yasmani Grandal. The 35-year-old hasn't been much better, though, as he's 7-for-37 (.189) in his last 12 games. He's only played one game in the Dodger's last seven so he will likely be out there to prove something in Game-3 of the series.

Ellis is in the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Ellis will catch while Yasmani Grandal fills in for Adrian Gonzalez (back) at first base. He has a hit in each of his last three starts.

Ellis is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

He typically catches for friend Clayton Kershaw, but Yasmani Grandal will get that honor Tuesday despite going 0-for-8 in his last two starts. Ellis, meanwhile, is 4-for-his-last-8 with a homer, but he's just 8-for-34 (.235 average) on the season.

Ellis is back in the lineup Thursday, batting seventh and catching pitcher Ross Stripling.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Dave Roberts is giving Yasmani Grandal a night off Thursday, so Ellis will draw back in behind the plate. With Clayton Kershaw pitching Friday, Ellis figures to serve as the Dodgers' backstop for the next two games. Despite the promise of added playing time the next two days, Ellis does not provide much as a hitter as he's gone 3-for-17 to start the year.

Ellis is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

With Yasmani Grandal (forearm) still out, Ellis and Austin Barnes have been sharing catching duties. Barnes will start at catcher Sunday and hit eighth against Johnny Cueto.

Ellis is out of Thursday's lineup against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

The Dodgers continue to share the catching duties with Yasmani Grandal (forearm) on the shelf. Austin Barnes will start at catcher Thursday and hit eighth against righty Jake Peavy.
