"I don't have a definitive timeline," Robertson said. "I'm getting comfortable throwing all my pitches again and my arm strength is feeling really good. I haven't thrown to any live hitters or anything. I've thrown some bullpens. I just started to get that crisp feeling out of a lot of pitches that I have. I hate to put a timeline on it because the last time I put a timeline on it, I feel like I just rushed myself and cost myself to have a mini-setback mentally.

"I'm thinking, at best, maybe three weeks. But that's not a hard date. I think if I could get comfortable I could pitch at the big league level in three weeks."

Robertson said he has gotten up to around 88 mph and has had days he felt he could hit 90. "Then there are days I throw and it’s not 88," he said. "It’s 85, 86. It’s just part of the rehab process. Some days you feel good, some days you don’t."

Robertson will continue his rehab at the Phillies' complex in Lehigh Valley. If he comes out of another bullpen session feeling good, the next step would be facing live hitters.

maybe this is why fangraphs now projects the phils to finish with a record 2nd in the nleast, just 2 behind braves, and gives them a better than 60% chance of making the playoffs... despite all of the road games coming up.
hope!!

I'm going to go ahead and say that the .405 BABIP wasn't unlucky, it was a bunch of pissrods.

And that doesn’t count homers, correct?
