"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PHILADELPHIA (AP)  Phillies President and CEO David Montgomery is taking a leave of absence to continue his recovery from jaw cancer surgery and will be replaced by former general manager Pat Gillick.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 68-year-old Montgomery returned to the team after surgery on May 19 and was active with the club throughout his treatment.  He helped greet the Taney Dragons Little League team during a pregame ceremony Wednesday night.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gillick led the Phillies to the 2008 World Series championship. He stepped down after that season and became a senior adviser to Montgomery and GM Ruben Amaro Jr.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Montgomery has been the team president since 1997. The team said Montgomery will return to his duties when he is fully recovered.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
