Chase Utley is swinging a hot bat since coming off the disabled list, going 13 for 26 with five doubles, a homer and seven RBI in seven games.

“As I told you before, it is very likely he’ll be here in Philadelphia through the end of the year and then we’ll see what happens after that,” Amaro said on the radio show.
