Roy Halladay (shoulder) played catch on Monday. It's the first time he's done so since undergoing shoulder surgery last month. Phillies pitching coach Rich Dubee was very pleased with what he saw. "It looks very, very good," Dubee said. "The arm action, he's able to get his arm back up very easily. No effort at all. Whereas before because of the stuff that he had going on in his shoulder, he couldn't get it up on a consistent basis. But now his arm slot is fantastic and he's doing very very well so far. He's a long ways from pitching, but everything so far is going to according to plan." Halladay is hoping to rejoin the Phillies rotation by late August.
