Laynce Nix is dealing with tightness in his hamstring that's keeping him from playing the outfield early on in camp. The Phillies insist it's only mild tightness, but Nix will be limited to pinch-hitting and designated hitter roles for the time being. "He could play, but I don't want him to play just yet," manager Charlie Manuel said. The veteran bench player should be able to get in some time in the outfield and at first base before long.
