Chase Utley could return to the Phils on Wednesday, and Ryan Howard may not be too far behind.

Howard will be in Philadelphia Wednesday for functional testing of his healing Achilles. If he passes, he will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Lakewood on Thursday.

Elsewhere, an MRI revealed that catcher Brian Schneider has a high ankle sprain. Schneider, played on the disabled list Monday, is expected to miss three to five weeks. He suffered the injury Sunday against Tampa Bay.
