Reading Report 5/10-5/31

Other Stuff

Giant economy report–3 weeks at once.

Reading was 10-10 over the last three weeks (now 7 games under .500 and 9.5 games out of first place), with a lack of offense being the culprit in most of the losses. A lingering hamstring injury to Tyson Gillies and a cool-ish Domonic Brown didn’t help.  Promoting Matt Rizzottti from Clearwater seems to have given a bit of a spark to the offense, although Rizzotti hadn’t many men on base for him with Brown slumping and Quentin Berry having not returned to his usual form after nursing an injury during April.

Lakewood Weekly Report (5/24-5/30)

Lidge Activated, Figueroa Designated

Other Stuff

The Phillies activated Brad Lidge prior to starting their series today against the Braves.  To make room on the roster, Nelson Figueroa, 36, was designated for assignment.  As opposed to the last time Lidge was activated when Antonio Bastardo got sent down, Bastardo seems to have solidified his roster spot at least for the time being.  The next set of decisions, assuming everyone stays healthy (big assumption) will come with the activation of JA Happ and/or Ryan Madson over the next month or two.
