Moyer sent to 'pen; Pedro to pitch Wednesday

Finally, the rotation turns.

Jamie Moyer
was informed he's headed to the bullpen Monday.

Pedro Martinez, taking Moyer's spot in the rotation, makes his Phils debut Wednesday night.

J.A. Happ will start Tuesday, on his normal fifth day, while Cliff Lee goes Thursday, getting a two extra days of rest.

The Phils will make a roster move before Wednesday's game to activate Martinez from the DL. (Kyle Kendrick?)

Additionally, Chad Durbin was activated from the DL. Rodrigo Lopez was sent to AAA Lehigh Valley to open a roster spot.

“Based on our reports on how Pedro has pitched in his rehab starts, we felt it was time to move him into our rotation,” Charlie Manuel said in a statement. “Jamie was a total professional and team player when we let him know of the decision to move him to the bullpen. He has been and will continue to be a very important part of this team.”
