Chase Utley (knee) will begin a minor league rehab assignment Tuesday with High-A Clearwater.
Utley began playing in extended spring training games last week, but now he's ready for real game action. However, he's expected to start out as the DH before testing his knee by playing the field. The Phillies are likely to give him as many at-bats as possible, but assuming he doesn't have any setbacks, he should be back with the Phillies no later than July 2.
