Tonight's lineup: Dom Brown, Carlos Ruiz return

Share

Domonic Brown and Carlos Ruiz return to the Phillies' lineup for Wednesday night's series finale in Toronto.

Brown has quietly put together a nice stretch, going 10 for 20 over his last six games. On Sunday, he doubled, tripled and drove in three runs against the Cubs to raise his batting average to .246.

Ruiz, too, has been better of late, at least from a power standpoint. Chooch has four doubles and a homer over his last 10 games.

Cesar Hernandez is out of the lineup. He's come back to earth since a hot streak right before the All-Star break, hitting .172 over his last 15 games.

Here's the full Phils lineup against Blue Jays knuckleballer R.A. Dickey:

1. Ben Revere, CF
2. Freddy Galvis, SS
3. Maikel Franco, 3B
4. Ryan Howard, DH
5. Jeff Francoeur, LF
6. Domonic Brown, RF
7. Carlos Ruiz, C
8. Darin Ruf, 1B
9. Andres Blanco, 2B

Elsewhere, the Phils announced that Aaron Harang will start Thursday night against Atlanta in place of Cole Hamels, whose start has been moved to Friday because of the trade deadline. Harang has been on the disabled list since July 2 with plantar fasciitis in his left foot.
