BY SCOTT LAUBERBrad Lidge just completed a scoreless first inning for Class AA Reading against Harrisburg.
After allowing a leadoff double to Ian Desmond, Lidge struck out Edgardo Baez. Desmond stole third before and was thrown out at home on a grounder to third base by Joel Guzman. Lidge ended his inning by striking out Matthew Whitney.
No information yet on how Lidge's knee responded. Hoping to have an opportunity to talk to Lidge after the Phillies play tonight.
(Updated, 8:06 p.m.): We're told that Lidge threw 15 pitches (11 strikes). According to assistant GM Benny Looper, who watched the outing, Lidge "felt very comfortable" on the mound. No word yet on if/when Lidge will make another minor-league appearance. He's eligible to be activated from the disabled list before Tuesday night's game at Tampa Bay.
