The best-case scenario for Phillies reliever Ryan Madson's return from toe surgery is eight weeks, according to trainer Scott Sheridan.

"He had pins placed in his (big right) toe and everything went well, according to the surgeons," Sheridan said Tuesday afternoon. ""The way we have it right now is that in two weeks, he's going to see Dr. (Steven) Raikin again and get re-evaluated and we'll see where we're at. At four weeks, those pins will come out."
