34 Roy Halladay, SP

Phillies starter Roy Halladay was in Philadelphia Wednesday for an examination, a rare break from his continued rehabilitation from shoulder surgery. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Halladay already has better range of motion in his right shoulder than he did in spring training, before he required surgery.

Halladay remains positive about his chances for returning to the mound, less than three weeks into a six-to-eight week rehab period. Halladay is expected to begin throwing again in July, but acknowledges the possibility for setbacks.

"In my mind there's no doubt that I won't be back this year," Halladay said. "It's a week-to-week process. There could be bumps in the road but as of right now, I don't see any reason why I shouldn't be back this year."

Halladay is set to return to the team's spring training complex in Florida in the coming days.
