Prior to Saturday's game, the Phillies have activated outfielder Jayson Werth from the disabled list. To make room for Werth, Chris Snelling was outrighted to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Since he is out of minor league options, Snelling has three days to accept or reject the assignment. If he rejects, he can become a free agent.

Werth was placed on the disabled list on Friday May 23 with a strained right oblique. With a left-hander (Jo-Jo Reyes) scheduled to start for Atlanta tonight, there's a pretty good chance Werth will be in the starting lineup.

The Archive Files

Busy day in Atlanta on the first day of arrival.

The first news I saw was that a Delco product was drafted by the Phillies on Day 2 of the First-Year Player draft. And Radnor/Villanova's own Jordan Ellis certainly worked hard to get his shot at his big league dream.

In the wacky, wild game, Shane Victorino starred as the Phillies stole a win that was in the glove of Atlanta second baseman Kelly Johnson.

In the notes, Tom Gordon is a proud papa as his son, Devaris, is selected by the Dodgers in the draft and also decides the best way to use his first professional paycheck.
