The Halos currently sit just 1.5 games back of a wild card spot and are being aggressive after being Kyle Schwarber Jersey sellers at the non-waiver trade deadline a month ago. Phillips, 36, has Kosuke Fukudome Womens Jersey posted a solid .291/.329/.423 line with 11 home runs while seeing time at both second base and third base for Atlanta this year.
