One thing I failed to mention from yesterday's action - Adam Eaton has a sore back.

I didn't think it was too pressing of an issue since Eaton himself said it doesn't bother when he pitches. When asked if it was a concern, the veteran right-hander, who is in competition for the fifth spot in the team's rotation, said "no."

"It's been bothering me, more the workouts, the running and conditioning," Eaton said.

Maybe it's something to keep an eye on. If Eaton's back ailments continue to bother him - on or off the mound - moving him to the DL could be the easy way out to finding a way to keep him out of the rotation should he pitch poorly this spring.

In today's Daily Times, there's a recap of sorts from yesterday's exhibition with the Yankees - mainly on how the Phils' first two pitchers of the day, Eaton and Chad Durbin, began making their case for the race for the No.5 spot in the rotation.

Also, an update on closer Brad Lidge's progress.
