The Phillies clubhouse closed early today for one of the many meetings players go through during spring training, this one for MLB Security.

We my have an update on the status of Brad Lidge prior to this afternoon's game; Lidge was tentatively scheduled to throw a bullpen session today. Lidge was scratched from his previously-scheduled game appearance Monday with right biceps tendinitis.


Here is the lineup for the Phils game this afternoon vs. the Blue Jays at Bright House Field. The thing you should be excited about: Cliff Lee with swing a bat today.

1. Jimmy Rollins, SS
2. Shane Victorino, CF
3. Raul Ibanez, LF
4. Ryan Howard, 1B
5. Ben Francisco, RF
