Lowell will take the weekend off of all activities and begin his rehab in earnest on Monday, which may not include a rehab assignment. He believes he'll be ready to return as soon as he's eligible to come off the disabled list after the All-Star break.

This will mark Ramirez's second consecutive game on the sidelines because of the injury. Jayson Nix will start at short in his place.

Acquired from the Giants in late March for catcher Ronny Paulino, Taschner posted a 5.20 ERA, a 1.92 WHIP and a 17/20 K/BB ratio in 27 2/3 innings for the Phillies. He surrendered six runs in his last three outings. The Phils now have 10 days to trade or release him.

Quentin has been sidelined since late May and is hoping to return just before the All-Star break. He'll play three innings with Charlotte on Saturday, five on Sunday and DH for a full nine on Monday. The outfielder was batting just .229/.325/.458 before he was injured.

Lopez will get the start Friday against the Mets. He is 5-4 with a 3.91 ERA in 13 minor league starts. The 33-year-old doesn't hold much long-term fantasy value as the Phillies may try prospects Carlos Carrasco and Andrew Carpenter during Antonio Bastardo's injury.

After Alfonso Soriano grounded out to start the 10th, Ryan Theriot reached on an infield single, took second on a wild pitch and then went to third on Derrek Lee's flyout to right. For some reason, the Brewers responded by intentionally walking both Milton Bradley and Geovany Soto to load the bases. As few walks as DiFelice issues, it wasn't as terrible of an idea as it might have been with the typical reliever on the mound. However, DiFelice, perhaps a little off after being forced to throw so many intentional balls, issued just his fourth unintentional walk of the year to Fox to end the game.

He might have taken a loss if not for his bat, as he drove in the team's only run through nine innings. Zambrano is winless in his last five starts, even though he's lowered his ERA from 3.72 to 3.50 during the span.
