Chase Utley (oblique) said Friday that he's anticipating returning to the Phillies' starting lineup in the middle of June. Utley, who has been sidelined since straining his oblique on May 21, has been fielding ground balls and expects to swing a bat within the next 3-4 days. Before the injury, he was off to a nice start offensively, hitting .272/.339/.475 with seven homers and 25 RBI through his first 44 games.
