Philadelphia, PA - With All-Star second baseman Chase Utley out for at least a month with a broken hand, the Philadelphia Phillies acquired second baseman Tadahito Iguchi from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for minor league pitcher Michael Dubee.
Iguchi was hitting .251 with 17 doubles, four triples, six home runs and 31 RBI in 90 games for Chicago this season. The 32-year-old Tokyo, Japan native batted .281 last year with 18 home runs and 67 RBI for the White Sox.
Utley had surgery Friday to repair his broken right hand. The two-time All- Star had a pin inserted in his hand during a 20-minute procedure.
Dubee, the son of current Phillies' pitching coach Rich Dubee, was 4-4 with a 3.88 ERA and one save in 30 relief appearances for Single-A Lakewood.
