Cliff Lee threw a 20-pitch bullpen session at "max effort" on Tuesday afternoon. It was his first time on a mound, Lee has been shut down since May 19 because of a left elbow strain

Speaking of Lee, if the Phillies want to deal the left-hander that will likely have to be a post-waiver deadline deal since he won’t have enough time between now and the July trade deadline to prove he is healthy.

Lee should be able to clear waivers because he has two years left on his deal at $25MM each.
