PHILADELPHIA (The Phanatic Magazine) - Evidently Cliff Lee wasn't the only starting pitcher placed on waivers by the Phillies.
Philadelphia dumped more salary on Friday sending Joe Blanton to the Los Angeles Dodgers for a player to be named later or cash considerations.
Blanton was 8-9 record with a 4.59 earned run average in 21 games (20 starts) this season.
A nine-year veteran, Blanton has appeared in 227 games -- 218 starts -- with the Oakland Athletics (2004-2008) and the Phillies (2008-2012). He has posted an 81-71 record with a 4.35 ERA.
In nine postseason games with the Phillies, Blanton went 2-0 with a 4.23 ERA.
The Phillies recalled pitcher B.J. Rosenberg from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to replace Blanton on the active roster and announced Kyle Kendrick will start in his place on Friday night as Philadelphia takes on the Arizona Diamondbacks.
