Grapefruit League play will continue on Monday afternoon as the Philadelphia Phillies and the Washington Nationals are set to renew their early season rivalry in a spring training matchup at CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches. Both clubs are using these preseason contests to iron out rotations and give depth players important at-bats before the Grapefruit and Cactus Leagues wrap up and the regular season begins in April. Fans can look for both teams to work through lineups and pitching depth on Monday, with young arms and hitters getting crucial work. As managers work through jockeying roster spots between up-and-coming players and veterans, the competition will heat up both on the field and in the dugout under the Florida sun.

The Phillies come into the game looking to bounce back after a tight spring opener. Philly dropped its last outing to the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-3, despite a solo home run from Kyle Schwarber in the first inning and solid contributions from shortstop Trea Turner and third baseman Alec Bohm. Schwarber’s bat remains a focal point for the Phillies’ lineup, following his solo shot on Sunday.

Philadelphia will likely send Alan Rangel to the mound on Monday as the club manages innings and evaluates arms ahead of Opening Day. Offensively the Phils will lean on their core veterans, including Schwarber, Turner and catcher J.T. Realmuto, back in camp after signing a multi-year extension.

The Nationals arrive in better spring form following a 16-8 victory over the Marlins on Sunday that showcased contributions from hitters like Brady House and Warming Bernabel. Washington’s pitching staff, anchored by newcomers and competitive arms, will be tested by a banged-up but determined Phillies lineup. Bruce Montes de Oca and Zach Penrod each threw three strikeouts in Sunday’s win, so the managers may look to them again on Monday for some light work.
