Asche (oblique) took batting practice Tuesday, Ryan Lawrence of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Asche has been limited by his oblique injury all spring, and he is now just reaching the point where he can take swings. He still has some time to get ready for Opening Day, but he has not hit in a game and does not appear on the verge of doing so quite yet, so there is a chance he begins the regular season on the disabled list.
