Retweeted by 7 peopleThis is definitely concerning for fantasy owners. The Phillies don't know when he will be able to play in spring training games.

What's the best case scenario here?
And what’s the most likely scenario?

best
he is healthy all year and is the best fantasy 2bman……not sure that is likely though.
I would like to know more about the injury before I say what the most likely scenario is

Goodbye SBs
Apparently it hurts to make explosive baseball movements.
I fear this may turn into a nagging thing throughout the season with a DL stint.

agreed
I could see him hitting the DL, possibly to start the season. The Phils are going to take it slow with him, but wonder if he will require surgery.

Surgery?
I have patellar tendinitis. It’s pretty common. Utley claims he’s had it before. Basically, he’ll take a few days off and then work with the trainers to stretch and build up the muscles in his thigh that cause the inflammation. It’s really not a big deal and surgery for tendinitis is very rare. Worst case scenario is it flares up at some point and he has to miss 5-6 games to rest it or, at worst, a DL stint.
Patellar tendinitis is really not a big deal.

good to know
I was surprised it was mentioned in the Zolecki article, but you never know. Its gotta affect his range at 2b and am curious if the Phils will think about a position change at some point? Back to 3b maybe? or LF?
