SEATTLE - Word out of Charlotte is that Brent Lillibridge left for the Bay Area Wednesday night, and sources have confirmed that it will be to replace Chris Getz on the 25-man roster because of an oblique injury.
That means Jayson Nix will moves in as the starting second baseman for the time being, or at least until Getz gets off the 15-day disabled list.
The club is expected to make the announcement either Thursday night or Friday morning.
It will be the second time in the last two weeks Lillibridge has been called in, with the club summoning him last week when they weren't sure of the status of Alexei Ramirez and his injured right ankle at the time.
