Nov 1 INF Greg Dobbs was running a 102-degree fever and experiencing flu-like symptoms, so he was sent home before Game 2 on Thursday night at Yankee Stadium. But after missing Friday's workout, Dobbs rejoined the Phillies and was eligible to pinch-hit Saturday night. Dobbs said he could play defense, if necessary, but manager Charlie Manuel seemed to think he'd be limited to pinch-hitting. "They put me on antibiotic medication right away," Dobbs said. "It was no fun at all." That didn't stop Dobbs' teammates from having fun at his expense. Before Friday's workout at Citizens Bank Park, several Phillies players quarantined Dobbs' locker with cardboard and yellow caution tape and posted a sign with hospital visiting hours. "With this group, they're merciless," Dobbs said. Yahoo! Sports


Oct 31 Dobbs will be available off the bench in Game 3 of the World Series on Saturday, reports Scott Lauber of the Delaware News Journal.

Recommendation: Dobbs had missed Game 2 with flu symptoms, but they have subsided. He'll be available to pinch hit if needed.

Oct 29 Dobbs has returned to Philadelphia before Game 2 of the World Series because he has the flu.

Advice: Dobbs was a candidate to be the designated hitter against Yankees right-hander A.J. Burnett in Thursday night's game, but Matt Stairs got the nod in his absence.
