Finally, some good news on the Phils injury front. Here's the latest:
All-Star second baseman Chase Utley has been cleared to begin swinging a bat for the first time since he broke his hand in late July.The way this team has looked against righties lately, Chase can't get back soon enough.
Utley also got the green light Monday from hand specialist Dr. Randall Culp to begin throwing without a splint.
A timetable for Utley's return will be set later in the week, but it is welcome news for the Phillies, who trailed the National League East-leading New York Mets by five games heading into Monday night. The Phillies were one game behind San Diego in the wild card race.

Utley had better get back soon so that I don't have to endure so much pain in watching the Ryan Howard strikeout machine.
