Peterson is out of the lineup Friday against the Phillies.

Analysis:

Following another hitless outing Thursday, his third straight start without a base knock, Peterson will head to the bench in favor of Alberto Callaspo at second base. Peterson is batting .179 (7-for-39) with one extra-base hit and 13 strikeouts so far this season, making his hot spring seem like a distant memory.
