According to Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports, the Phillies' infield is going to change. It appears Cody Asche is in, Michael Young is out.

Of course, Young could simply play first base and Darin Ruf play left field, but with the trade deadline approaching, a trade of Young of course makes sense.
Asche hit two home runs last night for AAA Lehigh Valley, and has demonstrated in recent weeks that there is nothing left for him to do in AAA.
