Least Valuable Position Player: Runner Up

More from Phillies News

Cameron Rupp

Rupp once again finds himself in the LVPP discussion. The veteran catcher was just 1 for 7(.143) on the week with four strikeouts.

This is the second straight week that Rupp has struck out in just around 50% of his at bats. With Knapp seeing more at-bats this week and making the most of them, Rupp may be looking at a reduced role in May.

Least Valuable Pitcher: Runner Up

Jerad Eickhoff

Eickhoff took a little bit of a beating Friday against the Dodgers. Eickhoff was lit up for nine hits and five earned runs over 5.2 innings. The 26-year-old righty has been mostly stellar this season and this last outing should just be a small bump in the road.
