Around the Phillies' minor-league system

Domonic Brown is batting .333 in 33 at-bats since being optioned to triple A on April 28. He has seven RBIs and has stolen four bases. He could soon be promoted to the Phillies. . . .

Carlos Alonso is out for the season with a knee injury after being taken out by a controversial slide on April 24. Alonso, the older brother of Eagles linebacker Kiko Alonso, was covering second base on a double play when Harrisburg's Stephen Perez slid past the bag and tackled him. Manager Dusty Wathan said he did not think it was "a very clean play." Wathan talked to the Eastern League's president, but has not heard anything about a suspension for Perez. The 27-year-old Alonso, a second baseman, was batting .262 in 42 at-bats. Wathan said he was the team's leader and a player the whole team loved. . . . First baseman Art Charles hit two home runs in the past week. He was batting .333 this season with 13 RBIs.
