Shane Victorino - OF - Philadelphia Phillies

Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com hears that the Phillies will place Shane Victorino (oblique) on the disabled list and call up top prospect outfielder Domonic Brown from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
This isn't how we thought it would go down, but Brown looks to finally be on his way to the big leagues. The 22-year-old outfielder has responded to a recent promotion to Triple-A Lehigh Valley by batting .346/.390/.561 with five homers, 21 RBI and five stolen bases over 107 at-bats. With plus-speed and an ever-improving power bat, he's worth an immediate add in NL-only and deeper mixed leagues.
