Pregame Myers update

-Brett Myers is in New York, meeting with hip specialist Dr. Bryan Kelly. We should get word on that before first pitch.

-Regardless of how that goes, manager Charlie Manuel said Myers won't make his next start, scheduled for Tuesday in San Diego.

-General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said a pitcher from within the organization would replace Myers. When asked if Myers' status intensifies the search to upgrade the starting pitching via trade, Amaro said the team was already fairly aggressively talking with other teams.

He added that adding a pitcher that would increase payroll would be evaluated on a case by case basis.
