    The question people keep asking injured Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard is when he'll be back in the lineup. But Howard said Wednesday that, "I'm not putting a time limit on it."

    "I'm just going to listen to my body," Howard said, "and we'll see where we are."

    The Phillies have said they hope to have their cleanup hitter back by early May. But when asked if May was realistic, Howard replied: "We'll see. Ask me in May."

    Howard took live batting practice Wednesday for the first time since rupturing his left Achilles tendon on the final play of the Phillies' National League Divisional Series loss to the Cardinals last October.
