Philadelphia Phillies OF John Mayberry Jr. (wrist) was placed on the disabled list Tuesday, July 22, with left wrist inflammation. In a corresponding move, 1B/OF Darin Ruf was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Fantasy Tip: Ruf is worth a flier in NL-only formats. He hit 14 home runs in 73 games last season, and he has a nice power pedigree at the minor league level.

Philadelphia Phillies OF Domonic Brown is out of the lineup Tuesday, June 24, and could be looking at an extended absence from it. "Maybe a little mental break and start over," manager Ryne Sandberg said of Brown's status. Brown took extra batting practice Tuesday and will be asked to regain a "compact, short, more of a line-drive approach." Of 55 outfielders with 250-plus plate appearances, Brown is near the bottom in batting average (.218), on-base percentage (.272) and slugging percentage (.324). OF John Mayberry Jr. will fill in Tuesday, playing left field and hitting seventh.

Fantasy Tip: If Brown has been dropped in your league and you can afford a consequences-free stash, he may be worth a look. The extra attention analyzing him could pay off. Of course, this could very well become a rotation in the outfield with Brown, Mayberry and newly signed Grady Sizemore, who's on a minor-league deal.

Philadelphia Phillies OF Ben Revere's role in the starting lineup may be in jeopardy. SS Jimmy Rollins hit leadoff instead of Revere on Sunday, May 18, and OF John Mayberry has had better luck with the bat. In addition, Revere has a .581 on-base plus slugging mark, which is 169th out of 177 starters in Major League Baseball.

Philadelphia Phillies OF Domonic Brown and 1B Ryan Howard are both being considered as options at DH during the team's series against the Texas Rangers beginning Monday, March 31. If Brown serves as DH, Tony Gwynn Jr. is expected to play in the outfield and if Howard serves as DH, John Mayberry is expected to start at first base.

The Philadelphia Phillies are reportedly making OF John Mayberry available as trade bait.

Fantasy Tip: In the last few days, we have discovered that OF Darin Ruf (oblique) and INF/OF Freddy Galvis (knee) will begin the season on the disabled list, so the Phils will probably decide to keep Mayberry for the time being. He should only be considered as a late-round draft pick for NL-only leagues.

The Houston Astros are calling around for first basemen, which include Boston Red Sox 1B Mike Carp, Philadelphia Phillies OF John Mayberry and Washington Nationals 1B Tyler Moore. However, all of them are unlikely to be fits.

Philadelphia Phillies OF John Mayberry Jr. is not a lock for the roster, and the team can release him with 16 days left in spring training and pay him just one-sixth ($265,000) of his $1.59 million salary. Mayberry's biggest competition for a roster spot appears to be 1B/OF Darin Ruf.
