Domonic Brown returns to Charlie Manuel's lineup Tuesday after a two-game, three-day break. Brown was suffering from minor left knee soreness. He dealt with right knee injuries earlier this season while at triple-A Lehigh Valley.

1. Jimmy Rollins 6
2. Kevin Frandsen 5
3. Chase Utley 4
4. Ryan Howard 3
5. John Mayberry Jr. 8
6. Domonic Brown 7
7. Laynce Nix 9
8. Erik Kratz 2
9. Vance Worley 1

I hope he was able to locate his toolbelt with the time off.

Great line Wolfman! You know you have problems when Laynce Nix is your best defensive outfielder.

Given what Manuel the moron did to Brown he is playing very well.

All Charlie ever did was write his name down. Brown has had his ups and downs, if he wants to play regularly he better show he brings something to the party right now, while he has a chance.
