Raul Ibanez is eligible to be activated from the disabled list Friday night, just in time for the opener of the Phillies' three-game series against the rival Mets at Citizens Bank Park.

But it won't happen.

Ibanez, sidelined since June 18 by a groin strain, had been scheduled to play Thursday night at Class AA Reading, but for a second consecutive day he settled for taking batting practice and working out. Reached by phone Thursday, general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. maintained Ibanez hasn't had a setback, but rather the Phillies are merely being cautious.

"He's actually progressing real well, just not to the point where he's comfortable that he's ready to go," Amaro said.

A year after a 9-0 record in Atlanta helped give Philadelphia momentum for its World Series championship run, three straight losses at Turner Field left the Phillies feeling flawed. Matt Diaz drove in the go-ahead run with an eighth-inning double and the Braves beat Philadelphia 5-2 on Thursday night to complete their first home sweep of the Phillies in four years.

Jair Jurrjens was given an ovation after the right-hander gave up his only hit with two outs in the seventh inning. In the Atlanta Braves dugout, manager Bobby Cox cheered privately -- for the hitter who saved him from having to make a difficult decision about leaving Jurrjens in the game.

Martin Prado's 10th-inning single triggered a celebration on the field, and was only part of his terrific night. Prado drove in the winning run to finish with a career-best four hits and four RBIs, helping the Atlanta Braves beat Philadelphia 5-4 on Tuesday for their first home win over the Phillies since 2007.

Brad Lidge's knee and Philadelphia's bullpen each faced a big test Sunday. Both came through successfully. Chase Utley hit a two-run triple, Jamie Moyer won back-to-back starts for the first time in more than two months and the Phillies held on to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 on Sunday afternoon.

Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel held a rare meeting Friday because he wanted to wake his team up. They sure looked wide-eyed on Saturday. J.A. Happ pitched a five-hitter, Jayson Werth homered twice and the Phillies beat the Toronto Blue Jays 10-0. "Usually you have to have anywhere from two to four of those meetings a year," Manuel said.

The Philadelphia Phillies held a closed-door meeting after losing for the 11th time in 13 games. The 20 minute session uncovered a lengthy list of problems but didn't provide any solutions. Ricky Romero held Philadelphia hitless for six innings and Aaron Hill hit a two-run double in the Toronto Blue Jays' 6-1 victory over the slumping Phillies on Friday night.
