Not only will the Phillies be without Brad Lidge to begin the season, but the closer will also likely go on the disabled list. Lidge is dealing with soreness in the back of his shoulder. "We're optimistic and hoping that it will be only a couple of weeks, and not much past that," Lidge said. "It looks like we'll rest it for a week, then play catch for a week, then do a couple of bullpens and see how it feels." Lidge pitched Thursday against the Twins, but felt pain deep in the back of his shoulder after the game.
