The Phillies failed to acquire CC Sabathia due to a lack of power hitting
prospects. So, their GM Pat Gillick is switching to plan B.
The Braves are 4-9 over their last 13 games, scoring just 38 runs. 1B Mark Teixeira is hitting well during the streak, however. The combination of poor team play and his fine hitting is making a trade for the first baseman look more likely.
Marlins RHP Josh Johnson‘s rehabilitation progressed extremely well and he’ll start on Thursday against the Dodgers in Los Angeles.
Nationals LHP Odalis Perez pitches against D’Backs RHP Brandon Webb tonight. The Nationals are 4-4 in games in which Perez allows two runs or less.
