--RHP Jeff Bennett (strained right shoulder) made a pair of one-inning, one-hit rehab appearances for Class A Myrtle Beach on Monday and Wednesday. He has been on the disabled list since July 6.

--OF Matt Diaz, on a rehab assignment with Class AAA Richmond, could be activated for the weekend series in Philadelphia.

--RF Jeff Francoeur's swinging strikeout with the bases loaded and no outs in the fourth inning of Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Marlins was typical of his season; he is 3-for-22 with the bases loaded through 100 games.
