Injury Notes: Phil Hughes will meet with the team doctor tonight to get looked over and determine the next step in his throwing program. He’s been playing catch with no problems for two weeks now … Chris Dickerson underwent a thorough examination this afternoon and although the results are not known, he seems confident that he does not have a concussion … Pedro Feliciano’s rehab program is coming along well and he’s “getting strong.” He’ll test his arm by throwing in early June … click here for updates on A-Rod and Eric Chavez.
