Aug. 16 -- VICTORINO UPDATE

WASHINGTON -- Quickly, before tonight's first pitch, here's an update on Shane Victorino, who left a minor-league rehab game for double-A Reading on Tuesday night after feeling "something grab" in his strained right calf.

He went for an MRI exam today in Philly, and the results showed no further damage to his calf. Victorino will rejoin the team tomorrow in Pittsburgh to continue his treatment with athletic trainer Scott Sheridan. He may be ready to resume a minor-league rehab assignment Monday, which would put him in line to play for the Phillies next weekend against the Padres.
