May 28 -- SURGERY FOR MYERS?

BY SCOTT LAUBER

From Ruben Amaro Jr. after Brett Myers' MRI exam today:

"After speaking with Phillies team physician Dr. Michael Ciccotti this afternoon, Brett Myers had an X-ray last night that revealed bone spurring in his right hip joint. He had an MRI this afternoon that revealed fraying and possible tearing in the labrum of the hip. Brett will seek a second opinion from a hip specialist to be determined.

"It is possible that Brett will not make his next start. That decision as well as any decision on a possible DL stint or surgery will be determined at a later date."

It's conceivable, then, that Myers, a free agent after the season, has thrown his last pitch for the Phillies.

Much more on this coming.
