Phillips is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Mets, David O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Phillips recently missed time due to a groin injury, but has started in three of the last four games, going 3-for-14 at the plate. There's been no indication that Phillips has experienced any setbacks with the groin, so his absence from the lineup Wednesday is presumably rest related. Jace Peterson will spell Phillips at the keystone.

However, manager Brian Snitker said Phillips would sit out Sunday's game and return to the lineup Monday against the Mets.

Phillips (groin) is batting sixth and starting at second base Saturday against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran infielder has missed the last the last two games with groin stiffness, but was available in a pinch-hitting capacity Friday, so it appears all systems are go moving forward. Phillips is currently riding an 11-game hit streak and owns a .352 batting average on the season. He'll likely return to the No. 2 spot in the lineup once he gets back to full strength.

Phillips (groin) will receive treatment Thursday and hopes to start Friday against the Brewers, Kevin McAlpin of 680 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran second baseman "cried [Wednesday]. I really thought I was done." Phillips also said he's refusing to go on the disabled list, saying his hamstring will be "like a Chipotle burrito, wrapping that thing up." 'Dat Dude should gut through and try building on a fine start (.352/.387/.507, two home runs, five stolen bases in 75 plate apperances).

Phillips is not expected to play Thursday according to manager Brian Snitker, Kevin McAlpin of 680 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Phillips apparently aggravated his groin while sliding into second base during Wednesday's contest, forcing him to exit after just one inning. The injury isn't thought to be overly serious, and he could be available to pinch hit Thursday, but he isn't expected to start until Friday at the earliest. Jace Peterson filled in for him Wednesday and should continue to do so until Phillips is able to return.

Phillips was lifted early from Wednesday's game against the Mets with a right groin strain.
EDGE Analysis
Given the diagnosis, it appears Phillips sustained the injury while fielding a ground ball off the bat of Michael Conforto. It's unclear how long the 35-year-old will be sidelined, but the Braves are considering him day-to-day for now. More should be known about his status in the coming days, but Jace Peterson should see reps at second base if Phillips is forced to miss any time.

Phillips left Wednesday's game against the Mets with an undisclosed injury, Kevin McAlpin of 680 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Phillips apparently fouled a ball off his ankle in the first inning, though he stayed in the game and eventually reached base with a single. He then came up hobbling after fielding a Michael Conforto grounder, prompting the Braves to lift him from the game. His status will be updated when more information is available, but consider him day-to-day for the time being.
