Matt Gelb from the Philadelphia Inquirer was in with Ruben Amaro Jr. this morning and has updates on the following injuries:
- Shane Victorino is sore, but may avoid the disabled list.
- Jose Contreras should be starting a rehab assignment this Wednesday in triple-A Lehigh, but no news on whether he'll be closing upon his return.
- Roy Oswalt has thrown a bullpen session and should start Tuesday at the Cardinals, and Amaro is not concerned about a drop in velocity.
- Chase Utley may see a full nine innings today in single-A Bradenton.

Brad Lidge is making progress and may be able to throw off the mound when the Phillies get home.
