Revere will be in the lineup Sunday against the Nationals, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.

Analysis:

Revere had been left on the bench for the Phillies' previous three games, largely due to his painfully slow start this season. However, Revere's pinch-hit double and stolen base Saturday may have convinced manager Ryne Sandberg to give the outfielder another crack in the starting lineup. He'll be slotted in the eighth spot in the order Sunday and will have to earn his way back to the leadoff role, but Revere nonetheless seems like a safer bet than the strikeout-prone Darin Ruf to emerge as the Phillies' primary left fielder.
