The Phillies have activated Brad Lidge for tomorrow night's game. To make space on the roster, lefty Antonio Bastardo was assigned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. How Lidge will be used is a question. I notice that J.C. Romero is being eased back into the 'pen with sparing work since his activation.
Pitching decisions loom. Who goes when Blanton returns? Who, when Happ is back? (Is he back?) Kendrick and Figueroa are logical candidates. Kendrick has options; Figueroa does not, which means he would have to clear waivers (unlikely) to remain with the Phillies. Or will it spell the return of Rule 5 David Herndon to the Angels?
