Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro said Thursday that Cliff Lee (elbow) is about a week away from resuming throwing. Lee has been re-evaluated twice this week but hasn't made the necessary improvement to pick up a ball again. "He's going through some strength tests," manager Ryne Sandberg said. "Just has a little slight sensation left. So he'll be evaluated daily to see how that changes. No throwing yet. In the meantime, he's getting lower body work and he's getting his running in."
