July 24: PREGAME -- Rowand, Burrell out

Two surprises in the Phillies' starting lineup tonight against the Braves.

* Aaron Rowand isn't in center field.

* Pat Burrell isn't in left field.

Phils manager Charlie Manuel, citing how tough Braves starter Tim Hudson can be on right-handed hitters, decided to rest Rowand and Burrell in favor of switch-hitting Shane Victorino in center field and lefty-hitting David Dellucci in left. Manuel also said Rowand (shoulder, hand) and Burrell (foot) are nursing nagging injuries and may benefit from the night off.

That said, here's tonight's lineup:
SS Jimmy Rollins (.267, 11 homers, 34 RBI)
CF Shane Victorino (.269, 4, 17)
2B Chase Utley (.317, 16, 58)
RF Bobby Abreu (.285, 8, 64)
1B Ryan Howard (.286, 31, 78)
LF David Dellucci (.316, 6, 19)
3B David Bell (.286, 5, 30)
C Mike Lieberthal (.225, 0, 11)
LHP Cole Hamels (2-4, 5.36 ERA)

Also, Andruw and Chipper Jones aren't in the Braves lineup for a second straight game.

All for now. More later.
