Phillies to activate Lidge from DL
Daily News staff
Reliever Brad Lidge will be activated from the disabled list in time for tomorrow night’s game against the New York Mets, the Phillies announced.
Lidge, 33, was placed on the disabled list on March 26, while recovering from right elbow surgery. He combined to go 0-1 with a 5.19 ERA with four walks and eight strikeouts in eight rehab appearances between Triple A Lehigh Valley, Double A Reading and Single A Clearwater. After allowing five runs over his first two rehab appearances in 1.2 innings, Lidge pitched 7.0 scoreless innings over his final six appearances.
To make room for Lidge on the 25-man roster, lefthanded pitcher Antonio Bastardo was optioned to Lehigh Valley after yesterday’s game.
Cliff Lee says Madson's very overated.— newintown- Some idiots on here have no idea of what relievers, especially closers, are like during their careers. The exption of course is Mariano. Most of them have good and bad years in alternating seasons. Lidge could be close to 2008 or a little better than last year. Let's give him a chance to see which one he is before the fantasy nuts have their cake and eat it too. I'm sure most of these fantasy negative heads have never played a meaningful game of ball since little league.— Wheel

Comment removed.- Does anyone know when Jimmy Rollins will be back in the lead off spot? Victorino is killing us.— phillyart
- zdog- you forgot the Phils all time save leader, Joe Table, and also 6-finger-droopy-dog-face. 2 names that should not be omitted from such an impressive list.
