Galvis in today's Phillies lineup

Shortstop Freddy Galvis is back in today's Phillies lineup after leaving Saturday's game following his sensational defensive play during Saturday's 5-2 loss to the visiting Atlanta Braves.

Galvis made an outstanding stab to his left of a Nick Markakis grounder and as while rolling on the ground he threw to first base for the final out of the sixth inning.

In the eighth inning, Galvis left the game in a double switch.

Galvis said before this afternoon's game with the Braves that he is ready to go.

He said his rib was sore but no x-rays were needed

"When I landed after the throw, my elbow hit my rib," he said. "I am feeling pretty good now."

Galvis wouldn't say whether it was his best ever defensive play.

"I don't know," he said. "I make a lot of plays, but that one was a good one."
