Nov 7 Lidge will have surgery on his right elbow on Wednesday.

Advice: Lidge is scheduled to have a loose body removed and Dr. Michael Ciccotti also will evaluate his right flexor/pronator tendon. Lidge led the majors with 11 blown saves this season but was better in the playoffs as the Phillies reached the World Series before losing to the Yankees in six games.

Nov 2 RHP Brad Lidge is still the Phillies' closer, manager Charlie Manuel said. But he wasn't the closer Monday night. After a 30-pitch collapse in the ninth inning of Game 4, Lidge remained in the bullpen while Manuel called on Ryan Madson to protect a three-run lead in Game 5. Madson allowed one run but got Derek Jeter to ground into a double play and struck out Mark Teixeira for the final out. "I had three runs to work with. That's more than usual," Madson said. "Usually, it's two or one. I just wanted to get some outs and get ahead of some guys I didn't get ahead of early on." Yahoo! Sports
