Asche (oblique) has been swinging a bat, but has not progressed to taking batting practice yet, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.
Asche is at the Phillies' spring training complex in Florida rehabbing his oblique injury. Manager Pete Mackanin said Asche is a "ways away" from returning to the team. The Phillies are being cautious after Asche suffered a setback in late March trying to return too soon from the injury.
