Utley injury concerning

I'm a little nervous about Chase Utley.

Utley was diagnosed with patellar tendinitis in his right knee and has yet to appear in a spring training game.

While I am very appreciative of Utley not using injuries to make excuses, he also tends to play through these kinds of things. There have often been questions about Utley's health whenever he goes into a prolonged slump.

The Phillies need their All-Star second baseman in the middle of their lineup.

Let's hold our breath that Utley is being honest about this injury not being too serious.
