Mere minutes before first pitch here at Shea Stadium, Jimmy Rollins was scratched from the Phillies starting lineup.

Eric Bruntlett is leading off and playing shortstop. No word on Rollins condition; he wasn't in the clubhouse an hour before the game, so it's anyone's guess.

Hall of Fame Voice of the Phillies Harry Kalas, who hasn't called a game since the team returned from the All-Star break, will return to work Saturday.

Kalas had minor surgery to correct a detached retina on Friday morning, the day the Phillies returned from the break in Miami. The long-time announce was cleared to work Thursday afternoon.
