The Philadelphia Phillies will face off against the San Francisco Giants tonight at Citizens Bank Park to begin a four-game series and many have been waiting for tonight’s game, Philadelphia Phillies fans finally have something to look forward to. Cliff Lee will make his return tonight from an elbow injury.
Tonight, all eyes will be focused on Lee, including scouts. Phillies trade rumors are heating up, and he could be traded very soon.
If Lee shows he's healthy and pitches effectively, he is a prime candidate for a trade before the July 31 non-waiver deadline. The four-time All-Star and 2008 AL Cy Young Award winner already was traded once by the Phillies in December 2009 on the same day they acquired Roy Halladay in a separate deal.
Philadelphia comes into tonight’s game with a 43-55 record, 11 games out of first place in the NL East. The Giants, however, are 54-44, tied for first place with the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West.

Lee, 4-4 with a 3.18 ERA, will take on Ryan Vogelsong who is 5-7 on the year and has a 3.86 ERA.
With Lee back on the mound, this should be an intriguing game as the Phillies and scouts everywhere learn where he is physically.
