According to FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal, Phillies outfielder Ben Revere is being 'tracked' by scouts for a possible deal.

Among the teams interested in the career .290 hitter, according to Rosenthal, are the Los Angeles Angels.
The Angels recently traded away five-time All-Star and 2010 American League MVP outfielder Josh Hamilton back to the Texas Rangers. Matt Joyce, Mike Trout, and Kole Calhoun have seen the most playing time for the Angels this season in left, center, and right field respectively.
If dealt to Los Angeles, Revere would likely replace Joyce in left field, who is batting just .143 (15-105) with one home run and 10 runs-batted-in this season.
