Delmon Young - OF - Phillies

Delmon Young finished 0-for-4 with a strikeout in the Phillies' loss to the Reds on Saturday.

Young is now batting .208/.286/.333 with 11 strikeouts in 15 games with Philly. He has good raw power, but the 27-year-old isn't worth the trouble in most mixed leagues.

Kyle Kendrick - S - Phillies

Kyle Kendrick was hammered for four runs in six innings Saturday as the Phillies fell to the Reds.

Kendrick gave up eight hits and walked four while watching his ERA balloon from 2.47 to 2.82 and his WHIP from 1.06 to 1.15. It's no surprise that the shine is starting to wear off here in mid-May. The 28-year-old right-hander owns an underwhelming 4.18 career ERA.

John Lannan - S - Phillies

John Lannan (quad) threw a bullpen session on Saturday afternoon in Clearwater, Florida.

Lannan will throw off a mound again on Monday and should then progress to simulated games. If all goes well, he will join the Phillies at some point in early June. He's been on the disabled list since April 18 with a quad strain.

Carlos Zambrano - S - Phillies

Carlos Zambrano threw two scoreless innings and had five strikeouts Saturday in extended spring training.

The Phillies' current plan calls for Zambrano to pitch in another extended spring game next week before possibly sending him to a minor league affiliate. He was able to throw 44 pitches Saturday and will continue to be stretched out as a starter. Zambrano will be an option for the Phillies' rotation at some point this season.

Carlos Ruiz - C - Phillies

Carlos Ruiz went 1-for-3 with a sacrifice fly in Friday's 5-3 win over the Reds.

The Reds tied things up on a solo homer by Joey Votto in the top of the eighth inning, but the Phillies stormed right back with two runs thanks to a bases-loaded error by Brandon Phillips and the sacrifice fly by Ruiz. "Chooch" has been slow to get going since returning from his 25-game Adderall suspension, batting just .240/.291/.280 through 15 games. There are better options at catcher right now in shallow mixed leagues.

Cliff Lee - S - Phillies

Cliff Lee limited the Reds to two runs over seven innings Friday in a no-decision against the Reds.

The only damage was a two-run homer by Jay Bruce in the sixth inning. Lee held the Reds to just six hits and two walks while striking out seven. While the southpaw was denied the win by his bullpen, his ERA is down to 2.83 for the year. He'll try to keep the good times going next week in a tasty matchup against the lowly Marlins.

Mike Adams - R - Phillies

Mike Adams went for an MRI which revealed a mild mid-back strain.

Adams hasn't made much progress over the past week, but he's still hoping to avoid a stint on the disabled list. The Phillies could make a move if he can't pitch at some point this weekend.

Mike Adams - R - Phillies

Mike Adams said Friday that his back hasn't improved, but that a trip to the disabled list hasn't been discussed yet.

Adams hasn't pitched since last Friday and received a cortisone injection following a setback on Tuesday. It's unlikely the Phillies will want to go short-handed for much longer, so something will have to give soon.

B.J. Rosenberg - R - Phillies

Phillies recalled RHP B.J. Rosenberg from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Rosenberg has posted a 4.30 ERA and ugly 24/20 K/BB ratio over seven starts for Lehigh Valley, but the Phillies decided that they needed a fresh arm in the bullpen. He'll work in long relief.
May 17 - 2:09 PM
Raul Valdes - R - Phillies

Phillies optioned LHP Raul Valdes to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Valdes struck out 21 over 20 innings for the Phils but also posted a 7.65 ERA. He could be back later this season.
May 17 - 2:06 PM
Roy Halladay - S - Phillies

Roy Halladay had surgery on Wednesday to remove a bone spur in his shoulder and repair his torn rotator cuff.

Halladay is hoping to resume throwing in 6-8 weeks and will try to make it back before the end of the 2013 season. The veteran righty had an 8.65 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 35/17 K/BB ratio over his first 34 1/3 innings this season. He can be dropped in all non-keeper leagues.

Cole Hamels - S - Phillies

Cole Hamels yielded five runs and two homers in five innings Wednesday in a loss to the Indians.

Hamels dropped to 1-6, but this is his first poor outing since April 7; he had a 2.41 ERA over his previous six starts. Subpar command has definitely plagued him this season, but it doesn't help matters that the Phillies have completely thrown defense out the window and started going with a Domonic Young-John Mayberry Jr.-Delmon Young outfield.
May 15 - 5:55 PM
Carlos Ruiz - C - Phillies

Playing in his 14th game since returning from a suspension, Carlos Ruiz went 2-for-4 and drove in his first run of the season on Wednesday.

One could say Ruiz hasn't been up to speed since returning from his 25-game ban. This is a guy who hit 16 homers and drove in 68 runs in 114 games last year. In 47 at-bats this season, he has just two extra-base hits, both doubles.
May 15 - 5:53 PM
Mike Adams - R - Phillies

Mike Adams had a setback Tuesday while playing catch and was given a cortisone injection in his back.

Adams hasn't pitched in a game since last Friday because of lower back discomfort. He's considered day-to-day for now but could need a 15-day disabled list stint if the pain lingers for much longer.

Carlos Zambrano - S - Phillies

Phillies signed RHP Carlos Zambrano to a minor league contract.

Zambrano recently agreed to a deal with the independent Long Island Ducks, but never reported to the club because he was confident he would be able to find a minor league deal somewhere. And he has. The 31-year-old had a mediocre 4.49 ERA and 95/75 K/BB ratio over 132 1/3 innings last season with the Marlins and will function as starting pitching depth for Philadelphia. He'll report to extended spring training for now and could be an option for the rotation down the line.
