Manager Ryne Sandberg was unable to pinpoint a return date for Utley (ankle) when asked Sunday, CSN Philadelphia reports. "This week? That's hard to tell," Sandberg said. "It would be later in the week if he does. But everything else is good." Utley has been hitting, running and fielding ground balls, but has yet to take the field in a game. He is recovering from a sprained right ankle. He is expected to be ready for Opening Day.
