Reds' Phillip Ervin: Looks to win bench role
Ervin is 8-for-33 with five RBI and one stolen base in 18 spring training games.
Ervin is hoping to make the Opening Day roster as a fifth outfielder, but he's not having an impressive spring. He finished 2017 batting .259 in 58-at-bats, although he did manage to hit .412 against left-handed pitching. If he does make the major-league squad, Ervin would likely see limited action off the bench.
