PHILADELPHIA (AP) \u2014 Philadelphia Phillies center fielder Harrison Bader was not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of the NL Division Series because of a groin injury.<\/p>\n

Bader was injured running the bases in the Phillies\u2019 Game 1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.<\/p>\n

Manager Rob Thomson said imaging showed no major or tear or strain<\/a> in Bader\u2019s groin and there was a possibility he could pinch hit Monday night.<\/p>\n

With Bader sidelined, the Phillies started Brandon Marsh in center field and right-handed hitters Otto Kemp in left field and Nick Castellanos in right against Dodgers lefty Blake Snell.<\/p>\n

Bader hit .277 with 17 home runs and 54 RBIs this season split between Minnesota and the Phillies. He secured the starting center field spot after he was acquired in a trade-deadline deal.<\/p>\n

Also against the two-time Cy Young Award Winner Snell, the Phillies started right-handed hitter Edmundo Sosa at second base instead of Bryson Stott. Sosa hit three home runs<\/a> in a game last month against Miami.<\/p>\n
