MYERS’ SEASON MIGHT BE OVER
PHILADELPHIA — Phillies right-hander Brett Myers will have hip surgery, and he could miss the rest of the season.
Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said Myers has a torn labrum and no date has been set for surgery.
Phillies team doctor Michael Ciccotti said Myers could return to the mound to begin throwing 10 to 12 weeks after the operation and it would be another three to six weeks before the pitcher would be ready.
