While there is still no official timetable on Jimmy Rollins' return, he will definitely not be activated Monday.

Team media relations director Greg Casterioto said Rollins is headed back to continue rehabbing in Clearwater Sunday; he won't travel to the west coast with the Phillies.

UPDATE: Shortly after getting that info from Casterioto, I spoke with Rollins with some other reporters. The reigning NL MVP is in fact going to Clearwater and will take part in some extended spring training games.

His goal is to join the Phillies in Phoenix Thursday. Rollins is from the Bay Area, so even if he's not ready for Thursday, my guess is he's going to make an effort for next weekend.

That Sunday is Mother's Day. Although his mom told him it would be "okay if he's not ready" by then, you better believe Jimmy wants to make his momma proud.

On that note, here's a terrific story on Mrs. Rollins from the New York Times a few weeks ago.
