A couple of news items as we touch ground deep in the heart of Texas:

Clay Condrey was expected to begin a rehab in Lehigh Valley Saturday; instead, he'll be checked out by team physician Dr. Michael Ciccotti in Philly next week.

Condrey felt symptoms of the oblique injury that has landed him in the DL twice this year, including the current stint that began way back on July 25. This could be a big blow for the pen, since Condrey was expected back to aid the Phils playoff run.


In other news... as expected, Brett Myers was activated from the 60-day DL. To make room for Myers, the Phils out-righted Joe Bisenius to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.


Fellow reliever Steven Register was also out-righted to Lehigh. Catcher Joel Naughton, sent of the 40-man yesterday to make room for fellow backstop Paul Hoover, was out-righted to Class A Clearwater.
