Domonic Brown activated
Just a quick note that OF Domonic Brown has been activated and is expected in the Lehigh Valley lineup this evening after missing a month with a knee injury.

I suspect with three strong weeks and the strong possibility of outfielders being traded from the Phils, we may see Brown in Philly sooner rather than later.
