Roy Halladay (shoulder) will begin a minor league assignment Thursday with the Phillies' Gulf Coast league affiliate. Halladay was cleared after he made it through a five-inning simulated game over the weekend. The veteran right-hander hasn't had any setbacks since shoulder surgery in May and could be back after two rehab starts if all goes well. It might be time to stash him in deeper mixed fantasy leagues.
