Domonic Brown, Drew Carpenter back with Lehigh Valley IronPigs

FROM THE EXPRESS TIMES

The Philadelphia Phillies acquisition of Hunter Pence along with Placido Polanco's activation off of the 15-day disabled list meant that the organization needed to make a pair of corresponding moves to clear room on the 25-man roster.

The odd men out for now are outfielder Domonic Brown and pitcher Drew Carpenter. General Manager Ruben Amaro Jr. has consistently said that he would prefer Brown be in Triple-A if Charlie Manuel were not able to find regular at-bats for him in the major leagues.

With Pence joining Shane Victorino, Raul Ibanez, John Mayberry Jr. and Ben Francisco, there was no room for a sixth outfielder in the mix.

Brown will start in left field and bat cleanup for tonight's 6:35 p.m. contest against the Buffalo Bisons in Coca-Cola Park.
