Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro provided an injury update Friday morning:
Cliff Lee has some abdominal soreness and did not throw his normal bullpen session Thursday but did participate in drills Friday. Amaro is not alarmed and said the condition is normal for this time of year.
Reliever Justin De Fratus will be shut down for a few days because of tenderness in his right (throwing) elbow. De Fratus will be examined by Dr. Michael Ciccotti.
Finally, Amaro is pleased with the progress made by reliever Jose Contreras, who threw his second bullpen session of the spring. The 40-year-old Contreras had elbow surgery in September after pitching in 17 games last season.
