Feliz Hits 2 HR In Rehab Assignment

Pedro Feliz hit two home runs in four at bats last night for the AA Reading Phillies in a rehab assignment. He’s scheduled to be back with the Phils Wednesday.

And not a moment too soon. The Phils need consistent production and defense from third base. In the three weeks without Feliz, the Phils have battled with Eric Bruntlett and Greg Dobbs sharing the load. We’ve really seen firsthand how important a regular such as Feliz becomes with his injury. Especially when it’s a necessary right-handed bat.

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
