Pitchers and Catchers report to Clearwater, Florida on February 14th for the start of Spring Training and as of now, the Phillies are looking extremely thin in the outfield. 

Weston Wilson, Jake Cave, and Cristian Pache are currently the only reserve outfielders on the 40-man roster which obviously means that Pache will likely get the nod along with Johan Rojas and Nick Castellanos as a starter during Spring Training and possibly at the start of the regular season. 

We’ll see what the Phillies do in terms of adding some depth in the outfield. As of now, the team has been relatively quiet this winter outside of re-signing Aaron Nola.
