Cliff Lee Activated to Pitch Against the Mets


Alas, the prodigal son hath returned. The Phils activated Cliff Lee today just in time for him to make a start in South Philly against the Mets tonight. Lee was put on the 15-day DL after his 10-inning shutout performance in a loss to the Giants last month. His strained oblique kept him out a little longer than anticipated. To make room for the ace, the Phils sent Michael Schwimer and his 8.53 (woof) ERA to Lehigh Valley. [Phillies]
