Chase Utley (knee) could begin playing the field next week. Utley began playing in extended spring training games this week but has been relegated to DH duty thus far. He's fared well at the plate, but testing the knee out in the field will be the much bigger test. Knobler notes that the Phillies are now expecting Utley back before Ryan Howard (Achilles).
