MLB: Phils say P Myers has shoulder strain

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - The Philadelphia Phillies confirmed that pitcher Brett Myers strained his right shoulder on Thursday.
Myers left Wednesday's game against Florida with the injury and Phillies head athletic trainer Scott Sheridan said there was no change.
Myers is currently listed as day-to-day but is scheduled to undergo an MRI at the team's spring training complex in Clearwater, Fla. later on Thursday.
After the Phillies scored three runs in the top of the ninth to take a 7-3 lead on Wednesday, the team turned to Myers get the final three outs of the game. Things got dicey as Todd Linden and Alfredo Amezaga led off the inning with back-to-back bloop singles.
Dan Uggla then roped a line drive to right field and legged out a triple, scoring both runs. Hanley Ramirez followed with a sacrifice bunt, but Phils first baseman Greg Dobbs inexplicably threw home as Uggla easily scored to bring Florida within a run.
Myers then struck out Miguel Cabrera, hit Josh Willingham and struck out Jeremy Hermida for the second out of the inning. Aaron Boone followed with a single to left, and left fielder Jayson Werth's throw home clearly beat Ramirez, who was attempting to score on the base hit.
However, catcher Rod Barajas stood up after receiving Werth's throw and Ramirez slid under his tag to tie the game.
Then, on Myers' second pitch to Miguel Olivo, the right-hander uncorked a wild throw and immediately grabbed his right arm before leaving the game.
Myers began the season as Philadelphia's opening-day starter before he was moved to the bullpen. Tom Gordon was then placed on the disabled list and Myers stepped into the closer's role.
