The news isn't great on reliever Scott Eyre.

Phils assistant GM Scott Proefrock told the media that the team Eyre's MRI revealed a "loose body" in the reliever's arm. The team is still in the process of deciding how to move forward to treat Eyre's ailing elbow.

"He's unavailable for the next few days," Proefrock said.

Proefrock sounded like he was trying to shine an optimistic light on the news. When asked if the team though Eyre could pitch again this year, he said, "We hope so."

The Phils could be in trouble if they're without Eyre and J.C. Romero, they're two primary left-handers in the pen. Eyre is 2-1 with a 1.61 ERA this season.
