Phillies designated OF Laynce Nix for assignment. |
The move clears a spot for Domonic Brown's return from the 7-day disabled list. Nix joined the Phillies on a two-year, $2.5 million contract prior to the 2012 season, but he has a lousy .211/.270/.331 batting line over 263 plate appearances with the club. |

Thu Jul 25 2013 | 22:18 | Laynce Nix goes hitless in loss |
Laynce Nix made his second straight start Thursday and went 0-for-4 against the Cardinals. |
Because someone has to play the outfield with Ben Revere and Domonic Brown out. More than just being a waste of money, Nix has been a waste of a roster spot for the Phillies this year, hitting .188 with a total of six RBI in 112 at-bats. A less stubborn GM would have released him months ago. Ruben Amaro, though, signed him for two years and, by golly, is going to keep him the whole time. |

Thu Mar 28 2013 | 16:18 | Laynce Nix hits three-run homer for Phils |
Laynce Nix hit a three-run homer Thursday as part of the Phillies' 7-2 win over the Blue Jays. |
Neither John Mayberry Jr. nor the demoted Darin Ruf joined Domonic Brown in stepping up this spring, so it looks like Nix will probably start against most right-handers until Delmon Young returns. Don't expect him to have any long-term fantasy value, but he could make for a decent early stopgap in NL-only leagues. |
