The Domonic Brown era has begun.

Centerfielder Shane Victorino was placed on the 15-day disabled list with an abdominal strain on his left side, the Phillies announced.

The Phillies selected the contract of Brown, the organization's top prospect, from Triple A Lehigh Valley to take his roster spot. Brown will wear No. 9 and will be available for tonight’s game against the Diamondbacks, presumably as the starting rightfielder.

Victorino was hitting .250 with a career-high 15 home runs and 53 RBI in 98 games for the Phillies this season.
