Ryan Howard (Achilles) took live batting practice in extended spring training Wednesday.
Howard hasn't done much recently while recovering from an infection near his surgically-repaired left Achilles tendon, so it's good to see him making some progress. The Phillies haven't put a timetable on his return, but reports have indicated that he could be back sometime in June. He'll require a rehab assignment first.

Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro on Sunday defended the club's use of a cortisone shot to treat Ryan Howard's foot last September.
Howard tore his ACL less than three weeks after receiving the shot. "I wanted to clear up some of the insinuations regarding a cortisone shot," Amaro said. "The cortisone shot was treated for some (other) issue he had. It was not part of the Achilles injury. We didn't feel it was an issue. That was resolved by the time he had his injury. One thing had nothing to do with the other." A doctor quoted by the Philadelphia Inquirer disagreed. "When it comes to the risk of an Achilles tendon tear, I'm concerned about cortisone," he said. Howard is tentatively expected to return to the Phillies sometime next month.

Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com writes that there's "a growing feeling" that Ryan Howard (Achilles) and Chase Utley (knee) could join the Phillies sometime in June.
Howard's return is expected to happen sooner and is considered more certain. He recently began taking batting practice in Florida, but it's not clear when he'll be ready for game action. Utley is also taking batting practice, but he just started taking ground balls on the infield this week and it's not clear how his knees will respond to the increased activity. We'll know something more definitive once they go out on their respective rehab assignments, but getting both players back would be a huge lift for the offensively-challenged Phillies.

Ryan Howard (Achilles) took batting practice Monday for the first time since February.
Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro, Jr. classified the news as "progress." Howard was recently given clearance to ramp up baseball activities at the team's spring training complex in Clearwater, Florida. It's not clear when he'll go out on a minor league rehab assignment, but a return in late May or early June is possible provided there are no setbacks.

Chase Utley
D.L.
Phillies manager Charlie Manuel was "encouraged" with what he saw from Chase Utley (knee) Thursday, when the second baseman took batting and infield practice.
"I was encouraged with the way the ball was jumping off his bat and how nice he was swinging," Manuel said. "And any time he goes out and takes ground balls, I get encouraged by that." While it's good that Utley looks like himself in the cage, the fielding is what's still giving his knee trouble, and Bob Brookover of the Philadelphia Inquirer notes that Utley's work in the field Thursday was "limited," as he took "fewer than 10 ground balls." It's still unclear when he'll be ready to start a rehab assignment.

Nix was diagnosed with a Grade 2 left calf strain on May 10, and was just recently cleared to begin exercises. "It's going to be longer than the 15 days," Nix said. "It's a pretty good tear. It's unfortunate." Nix is out indefinitely and remains without a timetable.

Vance Worley (elbow) said he was pain-free playing catch Thursday.
Worley visited Dr. James Andrews earlier this week, who confirmed the Phillies' diagnosis of a bone chip and inflammation in his elbow. The 24-year-old right-hander may require offseason surgery, but he'll try to pitch through the condition for now. He's slated to play catch again Friday and will slowly ramp up his throwing program from there.

Stutes has been sidelined since April 22 with right shoulder soreness. If he does receive clearance, he'll need a few bullpen sessions before going out on a rehab assignment.

David Herndon

Phillies placed RHP David Herndon on the 15-day disabled list with a flexor pronator strain in his right elbow.
He'll be shut down for three weeks but is not a candidate for surgery right now. Herndon gave up two runs in two innings during his most recent appearance Sunday and owns a 4.70 ERA and 8/1 K/BB ratio over 7 2/3 innings this season. The Phillies will make a corresponding roster move Tuesday.

Phillies transferred RHP Justin De Fratus from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list.
It's a procedural move to clear a spot on the 40-man roster, as De Fratus has been out all year with a flexor pronator strain in his right elbow and isn't expected back until mid-June, at the earliest.
