Laynce Nix (calf) is still at least a week away from beginning a minor league rehab assignment. Nix has been sidelined since May 10 due to a left calf strain and suffered a setback last month. There's no clear timetable for his return, but it's possible he could rejoin the Phillies by the end of the month.

Laynce Nix (calf) is doing rehab work again. Nix had to be shut down earlier this month after suffering a setback with his left calf strain. "He's feeling a little better," assistant GM Scott Proefrock said Wednesday. "There is still a little tightness, but hopefully he'll continue to make progress and we can get him out on a rehab assignment in the next week to 10 days or so."

Laynce Nix suffered a setback Tuesday in his recovery from a strained left calf muscle. The Phillies can't seem to catch a break. Nix was just beginning to appear in extended spring training games and seemed destined for a late-June return. But the guess is he'll now be out past the All-Star break.

Laynce Nix (calf) jogged Wednesday for the first time since landing on the disabled list. Nix, who has already missed nearly three weeks, doesn't seem to think he's that close, though. "I didn't have a whole lot of spring, but it's not painful," Nix said. "Just a really light jog. We're making progress."

Phillies placed OF-1B Laynce Nix on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 10, with a strained left calf. Nix aggravated his calf injury Wednesday after a pinch-hit single and will be out of commission for at least a couple weeks. He'll be missed, as he was off to a nice start with a .326 average and two homers off the bench for the struggling Phils.

Laynce Nix went 3-for-3 and hit his first homer Tuesday against the Diamondbacks. Nix had his big game against a pitcher in Josh Collmenter who has looked as bad as any NL starter since the spring began. Still, it counts in the stats. He was making his first start in six days, and he might have earned himself another one with the performance.
