CLEARWATER, Fla.
Carlos
Tevez Jersey . -- Drew Hutchison gave up one hit in 5 1-3 scoreless
innings and led the Toronto Blue Jays past the Philadelphia Phillies 3-0 on
Thursday. Hutchison is scheduled to start Torontos second regular season game
against the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday. He allowed a single to Jimmy Rollins in
the fourth, walked three and struck out three. The right-hander beat out several
candidates, including Todd Redmond, Esmil Rogers and Ricky Romero, for a spot in
the rotation. He was 5-3 with a 4.60 ERA in 11 starts as a rookie last season.
"I battled today," Hutchison said. "I wasnt really crisp. I got behind way too
much, actually. But on days like that, I can come back and make good pitches,
its a good sign." Dioner Navarro hit a sacrifice fly off Phillies starter
A.J. Burnett in the fourth. Gabe Jacobo added a two-run single in the eighth.
Burnett gave up three hits with one walk and six strikeouts in five innings. The
right-hander signed a two-year, $22.5 million deal with Philadelphia in February
after spending the last two seasons with Pittsburgh. HAMELS PITCHES Phillies
starter Cole Hamels (left shoulder inflammation) pitched two innings in a minor
league game, his first outing of the spring. The left-hander said he felt well
after recording nine outs and throwing 20 of 30 pitches for strikes against
Pittsburghs Triple-A players. "Im really pleased and really confident, and what
Im able to do now is to truly get spring training in," Hamels said. "Obviously
its a little late, but I feel healthy and I think thats really the key." Hamels
plans to join the Phillies in Arlington for their season opener against the
Rangers on Monday before returning to the teams training complex in Clearwater
to continue his rehab. STARTING TIME Blue Jays: Hutchison said despite close
competition, he never doubted his chances to make the rotation and is prepared
to show he belongs. "For me, I expected to make the team," Hutchison said. "This
is not anything (surprising). I expected to make the team and now Im ready to go
perform." TRAINERS ROOM Phillies: Outfielder Domonic Brown was held out of the
game because of lingering flu-like symptoms. Manager Ryne Sandberg expects the
2013 All-Star to play on Friday against Pittsburgh. Blue Jays: Shortstop
Jose Reyes missed his fifth straight game with left hamstring tightness. He is
expected to play on Friday against the New York Mets in Montreal. First baseman
Edwin Encarnacion said he feels better, but was given the day off after being
hit by a pitch on his right forearm Wednesday against the Yankees. ABREU
RELEASED The Phillies released outfielder Bobby Abreu on Thursday to allow the
40-year-old to explore an opportunity with another team. Philadelphias decision
to part ways with Abreu came one day after the 17-year veteran was informed by
the organization that he would not make the 25-man opening day roster. In 17
games this spring, Abreu batted .244 with two RBIs and 10 walks, but struggled
defensively. "We just felt like at this stage of the game, he wouldnt be a fit
for us," general manager Ruben Amaro said. "It was a tough decision. Not just
because of how it affects our roster, but also as a person. Bobby is a great
guy. He really made an effort to make this team. It obviously was a goal of his.
We decided he wasnt prepared to do that to help us at this time." Abreu signed a
minor league deal in January with the hope of returning to the majors for the
first time since 2012 when he appeared in 100 games with the Angels and Dodgers.
