Some disappointing news for Phillies fans heading down to today's home opener at Citizens Bank Park: the Phillies will be without their fan favorite and producing second baseman, Chase Utley. News broke a short while ago that Utley was ill:
Looks like we won't see Chase Utley at #PhilsHomeOpener .. He was sent home with the flu.

He must be pretty ill if he isn't at least sticking around the clubhouse.
Cesar Hernandez will get the start in Utley's place. In the early going, Utley is hitting .458 with two home runs and six RBI.
