Tonight represents the fourth straight game that Domonic Brown will not be in the Phillies' starting lineup. While some may have felt it was a combination of poor play while strong play from both Grady Sizemore and Ben Revere, there was a reason. In recent days, Brown was out with a "sore throat". The diagnosis may be a little worse than that.
Pat Gallen of 97.5 the Fanatic reports:
Dom Brown says he'll have to get tonsils taken out after the season. Is on antibiotic right now. Still feeling off but available tonight.
