The Phillies added another regular player to their injured list Sunday when right fielder Nick Castellanos was shut down with a strained right oblique muscle.
The Phillies face another lefty, Miami's Jesus Luzardo, Tuesday at home. Thomson said the righthanded-hitting Guthrie would likely start that game in either center or right field.
The Phillies selected Guthrie as an infielder in the sixth round of the 2017 draft out of the University of Florida. Never considered a top prospect, he began playing some outfield in 2021 and has played well in center field and right field for Lehigh Valley this season. At the plate, he was hitting .302 with 10 homers, 52 RBIs, 21 stolen bases and an .839 OPS.
"He's a good player," Thomson said."He can play anywhere on the diamond. He's hit extremely well this season. He's played really well. He's earned it." To make room for Guthrie on the 40-man roster, the Phillies designated infielder Luis Garcia for assignment. The team invested $2.5 million in Garcia's signing in July 2017 and he led the Gulf Coast League in hitting at .369 in 2018. He did not build on that success and battled a hand injury this season.
