The Phillies have placed third baseman Pedro Feliz on the 15-day disabled list with a sore back. Feliz missed the entire series with the Braves with his back woes, but hoped to return to the lineup in Washington. Unfortunately it hasn’t improved.
“Pete Happy“, as the fans refer to him, is doing exactly what the Phillies expected this season, batting .256 with 12 home runs and 46 RBI’s (right in line with his career averages), while playing stellar defense.
In Feliz’s absense, Greg Dobbs will get a majority of starts at third base, with Eric Brunlett getting the nod against left-handers.
The Phillies have recalled Mike Cervenak to take Feliz’s place on the roster. Cervanak, a utility guy, had a brief stop in Philly before the All-Star break, when J.A. Happ was sent down. He’s 0 for 1 on the season.
