Philadelphia Phillies: 5 Possible Short-Term Replacements for Freddy Galvis

Freddy Galvis became the first Philadelphia Phillies player to start on Opening Day while making his major league debut in over 40 years when the Phils opened the regular season against the Pittsburgh Pirates last week.

But as the Phillies struggle collectively to get their offense started early in the season, the team could look to change up their lineup by finding a short-term replacement for Galvis, who has one hit and a .077 batting average in 13 at-bats to start the season.

If the Phils plan on having Chase Utley return from injury around the same time he did last season, or sooner, they may not need a long-term replacement at second base.

With a number of starters cemented at their positions, the Phillies could have to weather the storm until their offense erupts.

However, Galvis and his spot at second base could be looked at for possible short-term replacements.
