Philadelphia Phillies

The Philadelphia Phillies are playing at home for the first time this season. They will host the Cincinnati Reds on Friday in a game originally scheduled for Thursday but was postponed due to weather. 

Philadelphia has just one win to their name this season and will look to capitalize on the Reds over Easter weekend. 

The Phillies have been dealing with injuries to both their lineup and rotation. And the news on Friday got even worse - first baseman Darick Hall will undergo surgery to repair his right thumb ligament. 

First pitch on Friday is scheduled for 3:05 p.m. ET and Zack Wheeler will look to get back on track as he takes the mound against Cincinnati.

The game will be televised on NBC 10 in the Philadelphia market. It can be streamed on MLB.tv for those not in the media market.

Here are how the Phillies line up on Friday:

Trea Turner 6

Kyle Schwarber DH

J.T. Realmuto 2

Nick Castellanos 9

Bryson Stott 4

Alec Bohm 5

Jake Cave 7

Kody Clemens 3

Brandon Marsh 8

Wheeler SP
