Chase Utley Makes A Move, Heads to Florida For Extended Spring Training, No Timetable for Return

The year long mystery surrounding the status of Chase Utley got a little clearer this afternoon. Utley is going to head to Clearwater and start to play in extended spring training games. He could play as soon as Monday, probably as DH for a while before taking the field. There are extended spring training games Monday-Wed. and next week June 12-14. He can start an official rehab stint at anytime, and has 20 days to return to the Phillies when he does (unless suffering a set back).

"I don't have a timeframe," he said during an unexpected announcement in front of his locker at Citizens Bank Park. "My whole goal is to feel comfortable and feel like I can contribute on a daily basis. I'm excited. I'm not happy I'm in this position, but I'm excited that I'm feeling better and I have an opportunity to go down and keep working and kind of advance how things are going here."

Only time will tell whether or not he'll get back in the field, regain his power at the plate, and when he "feels" comfortable enough ( whatever that means, no pain, some pain, bearable pain) to come back to Philadelphia.

When will Chase Utley be back? Hopefully before the All Star break.
