Phillies head to meetings with new man in charge (Amaro), same need as always (pitching)

"But it's a day-to-day process, it will be week-to-week and month-to-month. We'll monitor him and make sure he's rehabbing properly, and if we have to miss Chase for a couple weeks into the season or a month into the season, to know that he's going to be healthy for the next 5 months - or 6 months, hopefully - then we'll make sure that he's sound and cleared medically before he has to perform."

Amaro also said that third baseman Pedro Feliz (back surgery) is also making progress.

"Pedro should be fine," he said. "He's going to be rehabbing in San Francisco, at his home. We've got him set up there."
