If Chase Utley returns to the Phillies before Ryan Howard does, there is a chance that he could spend some time at first base. There is no formal timetable for either player as both undergo complex rehabilitation processes. "We'll figure that out when we get there," manager Charlie Manuel said when asked if Utley could man first base. "When we have to decide on that, we will." Utley has played 26 career games (22 starts) at first base in his career.
