Phillies second baseman Chase Utley is suffering from flu-like symptoms and will not be in the lineup when the Philadelphia Phillies play their home opener Tuesday against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Utley won't even be at Citizens Bank Ballpark as he was sent home hours before the game.

The five-time All-Star has gotten off to a hot start this season, hitting .458 with two home runs and six RBIs.
