Gonzalez hurts hand in bizarre accident
Carlos Gonzalez is expected to miss about a week of action after cutting his hand on a steak knife at his home, according to the Denver Post.
Our View: As Brett Myers again proved a few weeks ago, fools are usually made of people who take baseball players at their word about how they sustained their off-the-field injuries. Hopefully this will be the exception - but almost surely it will be the rule. Gonzalez will be hard to replace, as he has been the Rockies top hitter (.373) since the All-Star break. Seth Smith will start in his place for now.

Myers getting closer
Brett Myers (hip) will rejoin the Phillies after four or five more minor league rehab appearances, according to the Philadelphia Daily News.
Our View: The team would like his arm strength to be at a point where he could throw 2-3 innings at a "high level." With his fastball again hitting 92 MPH, it doesn't look like he's too far away. Eye-gate also appears to be firmly behind the Phils hurler, and he looks poised to join their bullpen sometime in the next two weeks.

Myers makes first rehab start
News: Phillies right-hander Brett Myers struck out three in his first rehab appearance since having hip surgery nearly three months ago, an outing pushed back five days because of a fall. Pitching for Class A Clearwater on Thursday, he gave up two hits and threw 13 of his 19 pitches for strikes. "I had a few jitters because it was the first time out in a couple of months," Myers said. "Everything felt good and the velocity was better than expected. Now I am just ready for the next one to start." He does not know when he will pitch next. "Whenever they want me I am ready to go. I'll throw tomorrow, the next day, whenever." Myers was scheduled to pitch Saturday but he fell stepping out of his car Friday night and injured his eye. Initially Myers said he was hurt playing catch with his 4-year-old son. He regrets first giving a false story about the accident. "I wish it kind of hadn't happened because it stirred up more stuff than it should have," Myers said. "Next time I will tell it straight because I just felt embarrassed about a grown man falling out of a car." [...]

Memory lapse: Myers waffling on cause of injury

Myers on target for September return
News: From The Sports Xchange: RHP Brett Myers (hip surgery) threw a simulated game Sunday in Clearwater, Fla., but still is "a bit of a ways off" from pitching in minor-league games, according to assistant GM Scott Proefrock.

Myers not a real threat to Lidge
News: From The Sports Xchange: RHP Brett Myers threw a 52-pitch bullpen session Monday and will pitch a simulated game Thursday in Clearwater, Fla., Phillies assistant GM Scott Proefrock said. When Myers underwent right hip surgery June 5, the Phillies believed he'd be out for the season. Now, they're optimistic that Myers will be able to pitch out of the bullpen in September. He is not, however, an option to be the closer. Myers had 21 saves for the Phillies in 2007, but as far as manager Charlie Manuel is concerned, the Phillies already have a closer, even though Brad Lidge has six blown saves and a 6.92 ERA. "I have all the faith in the world in Lidge," Manuel said. "Every time I run him out there, I feel confident. He's shown how good he can be." [...]

Myers nearing return to bullpen
The Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting that Phillies' starter Brett Myers has started running exercises in preparation for a return to the team. The Phillies expect Myers to join the bullpen before the season is over.
Our View: Myers is hoping to be back with the team soon, and the fact that he has started running is a good sign. He will be a nice addition to the bullpen when he is ready to return, but overall his fantasy value will be nonexistent.
Myers returning, but as a reliever?

We have a pretty good fighter's chance we'll get him back before the end of the season. Who wouldn't want to have that arm in the back end of the bullpen?" Myers was 4-3 with a 4.66 ERA in 10 starts before the injury.

Status: Out. Return early October?
After meeting Friday with general manager Ruben Amaro Jr., free agent Brett Myers was told that the Phillies will not attempt to re-sign him. Myers spent eight seasons in Philadelphia, going 73-63 with a 4.40 ERA in 1,183 2/3 innings split between the rotation and bullpen. When healthy he's a qualify third or fourth starter and potential late-inning reliever, but injuries and off-field issues no doubt convinced the Phillies to move on.
