Phils Report: Rollins to Rehab

The Phillies said shortstop Jimmy Rollins is set to begin a rehab assignment at Class A Clearwater Saturday.

The team says Rollins will need up to five rehab appearances for his strained right calf.

Rollins is recovering from his injury and is expected to play a minor league game on Saturday.

Meanwhile, medical tests on the surgically repaired right elbow of Phillies closer Brad Lidge show no structural damage.

Lidge went back to Philadelphia this week for an examination.

The team says he's day-to-day with inflammation in the lining of his elbow joint.

Lidge started the season on the disabled list and was activated in late April.
