Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Cristian Pache is impressing in spring training, showcasing offensive improvement and defensive prowess that puts him on par with fellow standout Johan Rojas. After struggling with hitting in previous stints with the Braves and A's, Pache has shown promise with the Phillies, hitting .238 with 10 extra-base hits in a small sample size last season and continuing to perform well in spring training. Pache attributes his success to working with the coaching staff and feeling more comfortable in Philadelphia, where he aims to secure a roster spot and contribute to the team's success.
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh has been activated from the injured list, returning to the lineup after an impressive season.

On the pitching side, left-hander Jose Alvarado is expected to rejoin the Phillies after being on the injured list with left elbow inflammation. Alvarado has been dominant when healthy, boasting a 1.38 ERA and a 36.4% strikeout rate this season.

The Philadelphia Phillies won their fifth straight series with a 3-2 victory over the Oakland Athletics in 12 innings.

Cristian Pache, who struggled offensively in his previous big league stints, has found success with the Philadelphia Phillies thanks to hitting coach Kevin Long's adjustments to his mechanics. Long focused on getting Pache to hit the ball in the air more, resulting in a ground-ball rate of just 38.9% with the Phillies. Pache has already accumulated eight hits with the Phillies, the same amount he had in 72 career plate appearances with the Braves. His latest performance showcased his potential with two hits and a diving catch in the outfield.

The bullpen, including Craig Kimbrel, did not allow a run or a walk through their 4⅔ innings.
Phillies' manager Rob Thomson has more decisions to make with the team's lineup due to the absence of Bryce Harper and Rhys Hoskins. The team has four positions that could become platoon situations, and Thomson is experimenting with different players to see where they fit.
