Braves-Phillies Preview

Jul 31, 2015 - 8:23 PM This was scheduled to be Cole Hamels' turn in the Philadelphia Phillies' rotation, but as expected, it's not going to happen.

He's far from the only recently departed veteran being replaced on the field Friday night in Philadelphia with the Atlanta Braves in town continuing a series of two of the NL's biggest sellers before the trade deadline.

The Phillies completed another deal Friday, sending leadoff hitter Ben Revere, who leads the team with a .298 average and 24 steals, to Toronto for two minor leaguers.

Philadelphia (39-64) owns the majors' worst record despite going 10-2 since the All-Star break and began trading away some major pieces this week, sending Hamels to Texas after shipping closer Jonathan Papelbon to Washington.

"They're trying to rebuild the team. We just have to keep going," catcher Carlos Ruiz said. "But definitely it's sad when you're around one of your teammates for a long time and then they have to go away."

Ruiz had two RBIs in his 1,000th career game Thursday, helping the Phillies win the series opener 4-1. Ken Giles got his second save in as many chances since replacing Papelbon.

David Buchanan is taking Hamels' place Friday. Matt Harrison could eventually join the rotation as part of the package from the Rangers along with four prospects, and reliever Jake Diekman is headed to Texas.

The Braves (46-56) have a new-look bullpen as well. They traded relievers Jim Johnson and Luis Avilan along with starter Alex Wood to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday in a 13-player deal which involved Miami. Atlanta also gave up top infield prospect Jose Peraza but received highly coveted Cuban infielder Hector Olivera.

"You build relationships and friendships," first baseman Freddie Freeman said. "It's always tough to see them leave. You wish them the best over there. But this is obviously tough from a personal standpoint."

Olivera could soon be batting behind Freeman, the No. 3 hitter who is 3 for 23 following a month-long absence for a bruised wrist. Adonis Garcia, a 30-year-old rookie, was moved into the cleanup spot for the past three games but went 1 for 11 without an RBI.

The Braves also received injured left-hander Paco Rodriguez and minor league pitcher Zachary Bird in Thursday's deal, which came six days after lineup regulars Juan Uribe and Kelly Johnson were traded to the New York Mets for prospects. Atlanta has lost 11 of 12 on the road and 14 of 18 overall.

Another part of looking toward the future will be seeing Williams Perez (4-0, 2.88 ERA) come off the disabled list to make his first start since June 26, when a comebacker resulted in a bruised foot.

The rookie right-hander had pitched very well after getting called up May 6, posting a 2.31 ERA in eight starts after originally coming out of the bullpen. Perez, though, averaged 4.14 walks per nine innings in 11 games and hit six batters. He showed better control during three rehab starts for Triple-A Gwinnett, walking one and striking out 15 in 11 2-3 innings as he allowed one earned run.

Buchanan (1-5, 7.00) has been recalled after a seven-inning victory for Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday. He was sent down five days earlier, just moments after allowing three runs in 6 1-3 innings of a 5-3 victory over Tampa Bay.

Philadelphia's Domonic Brown hit his first homer of the season Thursday and is batting .429 in his last eight games.
