John Mayberry has started 13 of the last 14 games.
Even more notable is that he's started four of the last five games in center field. Part of that is because Ben Revere has been a little banged up, but the Phillies are also looking to get Mayberry more starts in center with Revere struggling at the plate. Mayberry is hitting only .232/.321/.449 with a pair of homers himself, but he should continue to see plenty of playing time, especially against lefties, even with Delmon Young back. May 3 - 12:56 PM

John Mayberry is starting in right field Monday against Braves' right-hander Tim Hudson.

Laynce Nix would have been the choice if Phillies manager Charlie Manuel were going with a straight platoon, but obviously that's not the plan. The skipper will rotate the players in and out of the lineup based on matchups, the type of opposing pitcher and recent performances. For what it's worth, Mayberry has hit .308 in 17 plate appearances against Hudson.

John Mayberry went 2-for-3 with a walk Thursday versus the Twins.

Dominic Brown's early performance is getting a lot of attention in Phillies camp, but Mayberry is off to a solid 9-for-32 start with a homer and five RBI. Even if Brown locks up a starting job, Mayberry is pretty much assured a roster spot. Manager Charlie Manuel will have to decide whether to play him regularly or to platoon him with left-hander Darin Ruf initially.

He hasn't quite lived up to the lofty expectations this season, but is still hitting a respectable .260/.315/.429 with 14 homers and 46 RBI.

John Mayberry homered and drove in three runs on Saturday, leading the Phillies to a 4-2 win over the Nationals.

John Mayberry delivered a walk-off RBI single in the 11th inning on Thursday, leading the Phillies to a 4-3 come-from-behind victory over the Reds.

Mayberry entered the game in the eighth inning as a pinch-hitter, and finished the evening 2-for-3. The Phillies loaded the bases with no outs in the 11th, and after Domonic Brown bounced into a fielder’s choice that forced a runner home, Mayberry stepped up with a critical RBI single to left off Alfredo Simon. A popular preseason sleeper option, Mayberry has struggled this season, hitting just .238 with 11 homers and 32 RBI while striking out 81 times in 311 at-bats.

John Mayberry hit a pair of solo home runs in Sunday's 12-inning win over the Giants.

Mayberry took Barry Zito deep in the fourth before tagging him again in the eighth. His seventh and eighth bombs of the season were his first since June 19. Mayberry is off-the-radar in shallower NL-only leagues.

John Mayberry, Jr. clubbed a three-run homer Saturday against the Blue Jays.

Mayberry has gone deep in two out of his last three games. While it's a positive sign, he has just four homers and a .612 OPS over 158 at-bats this season. He'll need to sustain a long hot streak before returning to relevancy in mixed fantasy leagues.

John Mayberry homered, doubled and drove in four runs in Wednesday's 9-8 win over the Twins.

Mayberry took P.J. Walters deep for a three-run bomb in the first before tacking on a fourth RBI with a third-inning double. The home run was just his third of the season, while the hits were only his third and fourth of the month. Batting .227/.259/.347, Mayberry has a ways to go before getting back on the mixed-league radar.

John Mayberry Jr. went 0-for-3 in his start in left field Saturday against the Nationals.

Mayberry has been limited to playing against lefties lately, and he hasn't done much with what at-bats he's gotten. He's down to .207, and he has a dreadful 19/1 K/BB ratio in 58 at-bats. His last RBI came on April 15.

Starting for the first time in four games, John Mayberry doubled and singled Monday against the Diamondbacks.

It'd help the Phillies a lot if Mayberry could get hot, but tonight's start was just his third in nine games. Maybe it will lead to more action. Besides the two hits, he also collected an outfield assist. Juan Pierre hasn't had one of those since 2002.

John Mayberry is not in the Phillies' lineup Sunday for the sixth time in the last eight games.

Juan Pierre has basically turned into the Phillies' everyday left fielder, while Mayberry has been relegated to occasional time in left and at first base. The 28-year-old has struggled out of the gate with a .179/.179/.205 batting line following a mini-breakout last season. He should be on fantasy benches until further notice.

John Mayberry Jr. went 0-for-3 on Friday, leaving him with a .206 average through 34 at-bats this spring.

Mayberry has yet to homer and he's been caught on both of his steal attempts, so he needs to step it up. Expectations are that he'll be in the lineup most of the time with Ryan Howard out, but it's hardly a sure thing.
