| Analysis: Lidge also underwent elbow surgery earlier this offseason, so now he will be rehabbing both an arm and a leg. Lidge is expected to begin a throwing program in 10 days, but it's not clear if he will be completely healthy by the end of spring training. "We're not sure if hell be ready by Opening Day, but we dont expect that hell be too far behind," Phillies trainer Scott Sheridan said. If nothing else, hopefully the surgeries alleviated any discomfort that caused Lidge to struggle at times last season. |
