Jayson Werth is on pace.
Werth, a valuable piece to the Phillies' offense and outfield rotation, has been on the 15-day disabled list with an oblique strain.
Hitting coach Milt Thompson told Phillies.com that Werth will likely start a rehabilitation assignment within the next couple days and should be back in the lineup June 8, the day he's eligible to return.
"He'll be ready to go when he comes off the list," manager Charlie Manuel told Phillies.com.
Werth is batting .260 with nine home runs and 26 RBIs. He had a career game May 17 when he belted three homers and tied the team's single-game RBI record with eight.

Werth only tied the RBI record. I believe the team's single-game home run record(four) is held by Ed Delahanty, Chuck Klein and Michael Jack.
I appreciate you pointing that out for me. My mistake.
