Jayson Werth, who hasn't played in any of the Phillies first three Grapefruit League games, was in the starting lineup when it was posted in the clubhouse this morning.

He's no longer in that lineup. (John Mayberry took Werth's place in right field and in the fifth spot of the batting order.)

Werth has been scratched with soreness in the back of his right shoulder. He first felt the pain during batting practice Friday, and thus, it's not related to why he missed the first three games of the spring.

Werth said he sat out the first few games so manager Charlie Manuel could help him get "his legs" under him and in gear.

Werth doesn't believe the shoulder is anything serious - he can throw fine - and is aiming at making his Grapefruit League debut Monday when the Phils travel to Dunedin to play the Blue Jays.

More on this - I talked to Ruben Amaro Jr. and Werth about it - in tomorrow's Daily Times.

There's another NL East arm ailing... Johan Santana continues to have elbow soreness and said he isn't sure about Opening Day.
