Bastardo to pitch in a game Monday, and other injury updates

In case you've lost track, the Phils still have a whole host of pitching on the disabled list. Here's the skinny on the latest progression of all four of their rehabbing pitchers:

- Brett Myers will start tonight (5 p.m.) at Lakewood. GM Ruben Amaro said Friday that Myers, who had hip surgery in June, will continue to grow accustomed to a reliever's role during his minor league rehab.

-Antonio Bastardo, who showed off his talented left arm in late June, will make his first appearance in a game since landing on the DL in early July on Monday. Bastardo will start for the Gulf Coast League Phillies in a game that begins at noon in Clearwater. Bastardo, who flashes an upper-90s fastball, could be a boost to the bullpen in September if he's healthy and ready.

-Veteran relievers Clay Condrey and J.C. Romero will also get some work in down in Clearwater. Both are scheduled to throw bullpen sessions at the Carpenter Complex on Monday.


In case you missed the news from earlier, Greg Dobbs was placed on the 15-day DL with a strained right calf. Miguel Cairo was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to take Dobbs' roster spot.
