Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. gave an update on Chase Utley?s health status yesterday, saying he?s ?cautiously optimistic? the second baseman will be a full-time player in 2013 after missing much of 2012 with chronic knee problems.
?He?s done very well this offseason,? Amaro said, via Corey Seidman of CSNPhilly.com. ?He?s taking groundballs pretty much every other day. He didn?t take a whole lot of time off. I think we?ve all learned, including Chase, that it probably behooves him to continue to work and be able to do things to keep his joints going, keep his knees going. He?s actually done very well.?
Utley missed the first 76 games, but then played 83 of the final 86 games while hitting .256 with 11 homers and a .793 OPS.
Amaro admitted that the Phillies plan to ?monitor him? during spring training, adding: ?We?re going to have a discussion prior to spring training about how he?s going to be utilized going into the spring.?
