Hunter and Peter Bourjos could be at risk of losing playing time in the outfield to Darin Ruf, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.
The Phillies stressed defense this spring and did not plan to use Ruf in the outfield, but manager Pete Mackanin is willing to move away from that approach to get more offense in his lineup. Hunter went 0-for-3 against the Mets on Saturday. He has just two hits in 14 at-bats thus far.
