Ruiz is out of the lineup Saturday against the Marlins.

Analysis:

Ruiz, who's batting .260/.328/.431 with four homers since the All-Star break, will give way to Wil Nieves after two straight starts. The 35-year-old Ruiz signed a three-year deal with the Phillies last November and should remain the primary option behind the plate next season.
