HBT: Phillies to activate Utley on Wednesday

Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com has the good news on Phillies second baseman Chase Utley, who made it through eight innings Saturday evening in his final rehab game with the Single-A Clearwater Threshers:

Utley is now expected to travel to Philadelphia for the final stage of his rehab assignment. That is likely to include his playing in one more minor-league game, probably Tuesday at Triple A Lehigh Valley, before being activated for Wednesday?s game against Pittsburgh ? provided there are no setbacks.

The 33-year-old has been on the disabled list since the end of spring training because of a degenerative issue behind his left kneecap.

Utley batted .259/.344/.425 with 11 home runs and 44 RBI in 103 regular-season games last year before going 7-for-16 (.438/.571/.688) in Philadelphia?s NLDS loss to the Cardinals. The Phillies ? currently 8 1/2 games back in the National League East ? will hope that he can provide a serious offensive spark.
