(Photo: Courtesy of @Michael_LeSage) Chase Utley will officially begin his rehab assignment tomorrow. Utley will DH for the Single-A Clearwater Threshers as they take on the Tampa Yankees. Utley most recently arrived in Clearwater and after a week of extended spring training, he seems ready to be put into real game situations. According to Todd […]
Cliff Lee came into this rubber match hoping to earn his first win of the season. The Orioles had other plans for him and would show this Philadelphia team why they're in first place in the AL East. Baltimore scored first this afternoon with an RBI single from Ronnie Paulino, scoring Adam Jones. The Phillies […]
The Phillies finally won a game last night as they bested the Orioles, 9-6 to take game one of this three game set. The bats broke out pushing across nine runs on 12 hits, giving enough cushion room for Joe Blanton to get the win. Today, Vance Worley (3-2, 3.38 ERA) will make his second […]
Another interleague series is underway between the Orioles and Phillies at Camden Yards. Joe Blanton, much like the Orioles started the season hot but has cooled off of late. Blanton has had four straight less than great starts, and was looking to have a better outing against Jake Arrieta. This game would be a "doozy," […]
The Phillies will look to erase the recent sweep by the Dodgers tonight and this weekend as they embark on an eight-game Interleague Play road trip. Having lost six straight games to end their depressing home stand, maybe a little Interleague Play for the Phils will be able to fix that – hopefully. Tonight, The […]
Jim Thome has been activated from the DL after spending over a month on it with a lower back strain. To make move for Thome on the roster, the Phillies have sent down infielder Pete Orr to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Before being placed on the DL, Thome was hitting .111 (2-18) in 12 games. However, […]
It's good news for Chase Utley and the Phillies. The second baseman will be headed to Clearwater tomorrow to begin rehab. The Phillies are in need of Utley's bat and this is a good start for the team and Utley. Utley will participate in extended spring training games down there. But what exactly are extended spring […]
I'm not conspiracy theorist, but I am not surprised that Jim Thome just may return from the disabled list in time for the Phillies' trip to Baltimore, Minnesota, and Toronto, when the Phillies will need a designated hitter. Mark Narducci's Phillies notes has the update: [Phillies Assistant General Manager Scott] Proefrock said it was realistic to […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) The Phillies are coming off of a 4-2 series-opener win over the Braves last night, their second consecutive win. They were unable to give Cole Hamels enough runs to give him the win, but did however manage a way to find victory last night. Tonight, Roy Halladay (3-2, 1.95 ERA) will aim […]
Totally awesome – the Phillies have called up catcher Erik Kratz, to replace Jim Thome who is headed to the disabled list candidate because of his 42 year-old back. For the Iron Pigs, Kratz may have been one of their most reliable hitters, hitting .294 with four doubles and three home runs. Why Kratz? Here […]
