PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- Philadelphia Phillies left fielder Pat Burrell is in the lineup for Wednesday's National League Division Series opener against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Burrell left Tuesday's workout after experiencing discomfort in his lower back, but he was deemed well enough to play following an evaluation Wednesday. He is batting fifth.
The 30-year-old Burrell batted .250 with 33 home runs and 86 RBI. He struggled down the stretch, however, hitting just .205 in September with three homers and 10 RBI.
