July 25 -- MYERS UPDATE

This just in: Brett Myers allowed one hit and struck out one batter in a scoreless inning for single-A Clearwater at Tampa. There's a good chance he will rejoin the Phillies and be activated Friday night.

Before tonight's game, Charlie Manuel said he's likely to use Myers more frequently than he has used Tom Gordon since Gordon returned last week from a shoulder injury. "Flash is the one I want to be more patient with," Manuel said of Gordon, who is pitching with a partial tear in his labrum. "Brett would be the one I can turn loose quicker."

More in tomorrow's 50-cent edition.
