Brett Myers may need surgery to repair fraying in the labrum of his right hip. The news comes after Myers underwent an MRI Thursday.
“I don’t know what I am going to do,” Myers told The Philadelphia Inquirer. “First I am going to get a second opinion.”
Myers revealed after Wednesday night’s loss to the Florida Marlins that his hip has been bothering him for most of the season, which could be a source of the embattled pitcher’s struggles this year and part of last year.
“This has been bothering me as long I can remember,” he said. “I never knew what it was. It just became unpitchable this season.”
According to GM Ruben Amaro Jr., Myers make go on the DL.
“It is possible that Brett will not make his next start,” Amaro said. “That decision as well as any decision on a possible DL stint or surgery will be determined at a later date.”
