After a brief chat with general manager Ruben Amaro Jr., it sounds as if Pedro Feliz will also make his game debut Wednesday. Amaro said Feliz, who had back surgery in November, is one step away from being game-ready.

Feliz will work on sliding in the next two days. If all goes well, he's expected to play in the same game as Lidge and Durbin - a split-squad at noon at the Joe DiMaggio Field (across the street from the Carpenter Complex here in Clearwater).

As we told you last week here on Phollowing the Phillies, Feliz appears to be ahead of Utley. Utley, however, is also fairly close and my best guess is he makes his first appearance in a game next week.
