Chase Utley played in his first official rehab game on Tuesday night, batting third as the designated hitter for the Clearwater Threshers. Utley went 1-4 with a single in his final at bat of the day. Chase said he felt "really good" running the bases, but added that he did feel a bit of discomfort in the knee while at the plate at times.
A reporter for the Trentonian covered the Single-A game.
“A few at-bats I felt comfortable, a few I haven’t,” Utley said after the game. “But that’s probably standard at this point.”
