There's a reason you haven't seen Brett Myers pitch in over a week.

The Phils have shut him down with soreness in the back of his shoulder. According to GM Ruben Amaro Jr., Myers is scheduled to see team physician Dr. Michael Ciccotti in Philadelphia on Tuesday.

Myers hasn't pitched since September 12. When he first returned after missing three months recovering from hip surgery, Myers pitched five times in eight days.

So that's Myers, Chan Ho Park, Pedro Martinez, J.A. Happ, Scott Eyre and J.C. Romero who all have some kind of injury listed on their current status update.

That's not good.
