Chase Utley will re-visit the hand specialist on Monday to see if his broken bone has healed enough for him to begin baseball activities.
Utley wasn't cleared to grip a bat during a visit to the specialist last week.
He will need around a week or two of rehab once he is cleared to begin baseball activites.
Scott Mathieson, recovering from Tommy John surgery he underwent last September, will begin a rehab assignment today with the rookie-level Gulf Coast League Phillies.
