The Phillies hope to know more about the troublesome knee of Chase Utley in the coming days. Utley received a cortisone injection into his right knee on Friday to potentially alleviate the patellar tendinitis that has plagued him for weeks. If the shot fails, it could mean there is something more than tendinitis. "Could it be more than that?" general manager Ruben Amaro said. "Perhaps. Right now that's what we have." Utley has been able to take batting practice, but has been unable to run or take fielding practice for more than a week. "It's just kind of a step-by-step process at this point," Utley said. "The whole goal for me is to try to get this fixed as soon as possible, but also keep it in perspective. I've got to keep it right for the long haul as well. I feel like we're making the right progression. We'll see how it goes."
