Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said Thursday that Chase Utley (knee) could come off the disabled list next week if all continues to go well with his rehab assignment. Good news. Utley is 5-for-23 (.217) with High-A Clearwater during his rehab assignment and has begun playing second base in recent days. His 20-day rehab window comes to a close in early July, but he appears to be ahead of schedule at the moment.
