Howard activated from the disabled list, Dom Brown to start tonight
The Philadelphia Phillies are finally beginning to getting their team back in order. They got Chase Utley back this week, and now the team has activated Ryan Howard a little quicker than expected.
According to Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Howard pretty much had to be activated. He was supposed to make another rehab start tonight at Lehigh Valley, but they took him off the DL because Ross Gload had to be sent there with a groin strain.
So, Howard is in the lineup tonight, starting at first base and batting fourth. Also in the lineup tonight is Domonic Brown. He’ll be giving Jayson Werth the night off and now it looks like he’ll spend the rest of the year on the team.
Gload can’t come off to the DL until a few days into September, when the rosters will be expanded any way. So there is no reason to send Brown down at this point. He’s a nice left-handed bat off the bench (like they need more lefties).
GM Ruben Amaro, Jr. said that they wanted to send Brown down to Triple-A for a bit just to get him some regular at-bats. But, that’s not happening and Brown is here to stay, possibly for good. And when I say “for good,” I mean Werth is gone after this season.
thanks for posting. Great article.

Hi, I’m a professional pianist and I’ve produced a stupid rule that allows me to take a 15 min break every single 1 hour of practicing. Now, each and every break I have to do something completely distinct, so mostly I go to Google and seek for the recommended last hour weblog. It’s enjoyable to accomplish some thing diverse and to learn about new things every and every day. BTW, now I’m playing. Vivaldi. Your web site is fantastic, I wish I could remain longer, but I have to get back to play… Subsequent time I’ll come to visit again.

Can I make a suggestion? I consider youve got anything good right here. But what in case you added a couple links to a page that backs up what youre stating? Or perhaps you can give us some thing to look at, one thing that would connect what youre stating to some thing tangible? Just a suggestion.
