Ibanez Progresses in Lehigh Valley

Today, Raul Ibanez rehabbed with the Lehigh Valley IronPigs.  He played seven innings in his second rehab assignment. Ibanez went 1-for-2 with a walk, strikeout, and run scored.

His groin was tested by making plays in left field and sliding into second base. Ibanez said he felt fine.

As of now, the plan is that Ibanez will take tomorrow off and play on Thursday.  Then, he will talk with the Phillies determining how many more rehab assignments he will need upon returning.
