ATLANTA (AP) -Rookie J.A. Happ is moving into Philadelphia’s rotation for at least one start as the Phillies continue to battle for the NL East lead.
Manager Charlie Manuel said the left-hander will replace Kyle Kendrick in the rotation for Wednesday night’s game against the Atlanta Braves.
Kendrick (11-9) allowed seven runs and six hits in 1 1-3 innings in a 10-8 loss to the Florida Marlins last Tuesday. He has allowed 13 runs in only 5 1-3 innings in two starts this month.
Happ has no record and a 3.27 ERA in two starts and has never faced the Braves.
Manuel said Tuesday he has not decided if Happ will remain in the rotation after Wednesday’s game.
