Myers to Reading


Brett Myers
is scheduled to continue his minor league rehab tour Wednesday for Double-A Reading.

Myers threw scoreless, one-inning stints in Clearwater (Thursday) and Lakewood (Monday) in the last week. He struck out one and walked one, while allowing no hits, at Lakewood, where his fastball was clocked as high as 94 miles per hour.

If Myers can continue to progress, he could be a very big boost to a pitching staff that's been pretty strong since July 1. Of course, there's no room in the rotation, but the impact he could have on the pen may be greater anyway, if you remember how he pitched at the tail end of '07.
