The Phillies could consider having Myers (hip) return as a reliever this season if he is able to finish rehab in September as he hopes, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Recommendation: Myers was cleared to begin a throwing program in two weeks. Pitching coach Rich Dubee said that, while no plan has been established for Myers, a bullpen role would require a shorter rehabilitation. "Of course, it takes longer to work up to 100 pitches than it does to pitch an inning, but we have to listen to the doctors and see how things go with Brett," Dubee said.
