Phillips will be in the lineup for Friday's game after exiting Thursday's contest with groin tightness, Kevin McAlpin of 680 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Phillips was taken out of the game in the fifth inning, but seems to be near 100 percent and able to give it a go for the series opener against Milwaukee. Prior to his injury, Phillips went 1-for-3 on Thursday, and has been swinging the ball well thus far in 2017 with a slash line of .301/.346/.435.

Phillips was removed from Thursday's game against the Giants due to left groin tightness and is considered day-to-day, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Braves pulled Phillips after he scored in the fifth inning of Thursday's high-scoring win over the Giants. He had put together a solid outing before his exit, going 1-for-3 with his fifth home run of the season. The Braves have him as day-to-day heading into Friday's series opener against the Brewers. If the Braves opt to give Phillips an extra rest day, Danny Santana or Johan Carmago could fill in at second base.

Phillips went 4-for-6 with two doubles, three runs scored and three RBI in Wednesday's 13-2 rout of the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
He's rapped out seven hits in his last two games, and Phillips is now hitting .370 (20-for-54) over his last 12 games with a homer, five RBI and nine runs. The veteran second baseman now carries a .781 OPS, his best performance in that category since an ,810 mark back in 2010.

Phillips went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a double during Saturday's loss to the Mets in the first game of their doubleheader.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran continues to provide serviceable fantasy results for deep settings with four home runs, 18 RBI, seven stolen bases, 26 runs and a .296/.343/.422 slash line. However, it's worth noting that he's stolen just two bases over his past 34 games, so counting on much help in the category going forward could quickly prove ill-advised. Phillips has also hit just 34 homers over the past four seasons.

Phillips (knee) is starting at second base and batting second Wednesday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran was removed from Sunday's contest after fouling a ball off his knee, but it seems like the issue has been resolved after a couple days off. Phillips will resume his normal spot toward the top of Atlanta's order as he looks to build on his strong .301 batting average.

Phillips (knee) fielded groundballs and took batting practice Tuesday and hopes to return to the lineup Wednesday against the Angels, Kevin McAlpin of 680 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Braves' starting second baseman was still a little sore Tuesday, so manager Brian Snitker wanted to give him another day to rest. With an off day Thursday, the team may ultimately decide to give him another day off Wednesday. Phillips was hitting .250/.318/.350 with one home run in 80 May at-bats prior to suffering the minor knee injury.

Phillips (knee) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Angels,
EDGE Analysis
Phillips was expected to return to the lineup as the designated hitter Tuesday after taking batting practice without any issues Monday night, but it appears his knee is still bothering him enough to keep him out for the second straight game. Jace Peterson will again start at second base in his stead, while Danny Santana serves as the designated hitter. Phillips could return as DH for Wednesday's series finale against the Angels, but with the Braves approaching an off-day Thursday, the team could choose to err on the side of caution with Phillips and hold him out until Friday.
