Lidge Likely Out Until Close to All-Star Break

"I don't know if it's anything new, but yeah, I agree with Charlie," Lidge said. "When I first got hurt, there was this three-to-six week talk before playing catch or throwing a ball. If nothing serious happens, and I'm hopeful it won't, I can see myself being back by the All-Star break. I'm doing everything I'm supposed to be doing and I remain optimistic about this timetable." I thought it was "3 to 6 weeks" before he was back, not before he was playing catch.
