Utley out of the lineup (updated)

Utley out of lineup

I'll try to dig around and find out why; for now, here's the starting nine:

1. Rollins SS
2. Victorino, CF
3. Ibanez, LF
4. Howard, 1B
5. Werth, RF
6. Feliz, 3B
7. Cairo, 2B
8. Ruiz, C
9. Myers, P


OK, back up from the clubhouse. Utley isn't in the lineup for the second time in three games because of right foot injury.

Phils GM Ruben Amaro said the injury was not serious and the team doesn't plan on putting Utley's ankle through any tests unless it worsens. He'll be re-examined before Wednesday's game in New York, but the team sounds optimistic he'll be ready to return.

Utley was hit by a pitch from Mets right-hander Mike Pelfrey Friday and was held out of Saturday's game.
