Myers upset at being left off Phillies’ roster

GameSetMatch — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 20:32:17 +0000

Twenty-four hours after learning that he had been left off the Phillies’ roster for the National League Championship Series, Brett Myers still was having trouble digesting the decision yesterday.

“I’m upset,” the pitcher said before Game 1 against the Los Angeles Dodgers last night.

Myers, 29, had hip surgery June 4. At the time, team officials thought his season was over. The righthander stayed dedicated to a rehabilitation program and made it back in early September. The club hoped Myers could help in the bullpen, but he had a 6.43 ERA in eight games. He pitched just two-thirds of an inning in the division series.

“It’s tough going through all that [rehab],” Myers said. “This is the whole reason I tried to get back, to be in the postseason. Now they took that away.

Myers confident he’ll return to ‘pen soon

GameSetMatch — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 16:16:59 +0000

Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz had an MRI on his sprained left wrist Wednesday in Philadelphia. He could miss the next three to five days, but that is considered a good thing because he has no structural damage.

Ruiz is far from the only injured player on the Phillies roster:

• Right-hander Brett Myers (strained right latissimus dorsi) rejoined the team Wednesday. He said he will throw bullpen sessions next Tuesday and Thursday. He expects to be ready to pitch after that. “I could throw a bullpen now,” Myers said. “The doc wants to wait. I’ll definitely be back before the end of the season. Definitely.” Asked if he could throw consecutive days upon his return, he said, “Yeah, why not? If it’s healthy, it’s healthy.”

• Right-hander Pedro Martinez (neck stiffness) threw off flat ground Wednesday. Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said Martinez told him he felt better and sounded optimistic he would start Saturday against Milwaukee.

Myers denies involvement in altercation

GameSetMatch — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 21:20:18 +0000

Brett Myers strongly denied his involvement in any physical or verbal altercations early Saturday morning at an Irish pub in Jacksonville, Fla., where he lives.

Police confirmed that Myers did not injure his left eye at Shannon’s Irish Pub, and that he had no involvement in a physical disturbance that damaged some band equipment. Sgt. Chuck Mulligan, a spokesman for the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office, also said police have no knowledge that Myers was involved in any verbal confrontations with any patrons.

“I was in no way involved with pushing or shoving or yelling at anybody,” Myers told MLB.com. “People are saying it was me, and it really wasn’t. I’m tired of people saying things about me that aren’t true.”

This started when the Phillies scratched Myers from his rehab start Saturday night with Class A Clearwater because he injured his left eye. Myers originally told the Phillies he injured his eye while playing catch with his 4-year-old son, Kolt. Myers said his wife Kim urged him to tell the Phillies the truth: He said while trying to exit the back seat of his wife’s Cadillac Escalade after returning from the restaurant, he tripped and smashed his face on the door’s armrest.
