lidge back, baez gone

Brad Lidge is finally back with the team, for the first time all season. To make room for him, struggling reliever Danys Baez was designated for assignment, ending a stint that just did not work out. Baez will best be remembered for his key role in the epic 19-inning game ealier this season, when he pitched five innings, and for being the interpreter and cheerleader for Jose Contreras. Sometimes it's just the wrong place at the wrong time, which is what it was for Baez with the Phillies.
