Some bad news from camp - although the team is saying it might be good in the long run.

Phillies pitcher Kris Benson, who has been rehabbing from right shoulder surgery after missing all of last season, is out indefinitely. Benson felt soreness in his right shoulder this weekend while throwing a bullpen session.

But both Benson and pitching coach Rich Dubee said this isn't unexpected fora player working his arm back from surgery.

"To expect me to go from the first day of camp to the last day of the season without taking a break is not going to happen," Benson said. "If I can take a break now and use this to build myself up to the 60-pitch area, then bump up to the next area... in the long run, I'm sure it will be a good thing."

Benson, who was originally scheduled to pitch in a minor league game Tuesday, still hopes to make his next start. But the Phillies will likely take their time in hopes of having him healthy for the duration of the season.
