Newsbreakers

November 12, 2009

Phillies' relief pitcher Scott Eyre filed for free agency on Thursday, according to the Twitter page of beat writer Todd Zolecki.

Our View:

Eyre recently had surgery to remove floating bodies from his left elbow, but it was a minor procedure and he is expected to be ready to pitch before long. He is contemplating retirement, but he would like to return to the Phils for another season.

November 6, 2009

Scott Eyre underwent surgery today to remove floating bodies in his left elbow, according to the Associated Press.

Our View:

The 37-year-old reliever pitched with the injury over the final month of the season. He will resume his career with the Phillies or will hang up his cleats.

October 12, 2009

Phillies' reliever Scott Eyre was walking without a limp in the clubhouse on Monday, according to the team's Twitter page. Eyre worked out and threw with coaches and looked good.

Our View:

Eyre said he would be able to go today if called upon, and it looks like he was right. he made it through all tests administered by the coaches, so don't be shocked to see him come out of the pen tonight. Of course, with cliff Lee pitching the Phils might need anyone to come out of the bullpen.

October 12, 2009

Updating a previous report, Phillies' reliever Scott Eyre has been diagnosed with a sprained ankle, according to MLB.com. Eyre says he will be able to pitch Monday if needed, but manager Charlie Manuel believes he needs some time to recover.

Our View:

This injury isn't nearly as bad as it could have been, but don't expect to see him tonight unless the Phils are desperate. If the team does advance, he should be good to go for the NLCS.

October 12, 2009

ESPN.com is reporting that Phillies' relief pitcher Scott Eyre left Sunday's game in the seventh inning after he turned his ankle while trying to field a Dexter Fowler bunt. No word yet on his status for Monday's Game 4.

Our View:

It looked bad when he went down, but he did walk off the field under his own power. It would be a bit surprising if he was able to go tonight, but we will keep you updated on his status as it is released.

September 19, 2009

According to Todd Zolecki on Twitter, reliever Scott Eyre threw a successful bullpen session on Saturday and expects to begin pitching on Tuesday.

Our View:

Eyre hasn't pitched since September 7th because of a sore left elbow, and he will require offseason surgery, but it looks like the steady relief man will be able to pitch into the postseason this year. He has a 1.61 ERA in 39 appearances this year.

September 11, 2009

MLB.com's Todd Zolecki reports that Scott Eyre will get a cortisone shot in his aching left elbow and try to pitch through the pain for the rest of 2009.

Our View:

The injury has been described as only a "loose body" in the elbow, so as long as he is physically able to do it, the team will let him pitch going forward. In 28 innings over 39 appearances this season, Eyre has posted a 1.61 ERA, while holding lefties to a .207 batting average against.

September 10, 2009

According to Scott Lauber on Twitter, an MRI revealed the cause of reliever Scott Eyre's elbow pain was the result of a "loose body".

Our View:

Eyre had been feeling pain in his elbow for the last week and it looks like he may require offseason arthroscopic surgery to clean up the "loose body". He will be shut down for at least a few days. The Phillies bullpen continues to take massive hits this season.

September 10, 2009

Scott Eyre is scheduled to be examined by the team physician on Thursday, according to MLB.com. Eyre has been experiencing a "quick and Sharp" pain in his elbow over the last week.

Our View:

The Phils are hoping that this injury isn't anything serious, because Eyre has been outstanding in his 28 innings this season. He is devastating against lefties, so the team can ill-afford to be without him for the postseason.

September 8, 2009

Scott Eyre is day-to-day with soreness in his left (pitching) elbow, according to MLB.com's Todd Zolecki.

Our View:

Not good news for a slumping Phillies club nearing playoff time. The lefty specialist has posted an impressive 1.61 ERA in 28 innings this season, holding lefties to a .207 batting average against.

July 5, 2009

Updating a previous report, Phillies' beat writer Todd Zolecki is reporting on his Twitter page that the team has activated pitcher Scott Eyre from the DL. In a corresponding move, the team has optioned pitcher Sergio Escalona to Triple-A.

Our View:

It was reported that Eyre would be activated today, so no big shocker here. He has little-to-no fantasy value as a reliever, but he should help out in the Phillies' bullpen.

July 2, 2009

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that reliever Scott Eyre will likely be activated from the DL on Sunday.

Our View:

Eyre is rehabbing a strained calf and will pitch out of the bullpen for Double-A Reading on Friday before rejoining the Phillies on Sunday. Barring setbacks of course. Eyre has no fantasy value outside of deep leagues that feature holds.

July 1, 2009

Scott Eyre will start for Double-A Reading on Wednesday night as part of his rehab from a strained left calf, according to the Philadelphia Daily News.

Our View:

Eyre has been out since June 12. In 14 innings in 2009, he has a 2.57 ERA and ten holds. He is a decent option in leagues with holds and middle relievers, though he collects few strikeouts.

June 25, 2009

According to the Philadelphia Daily News, reliever Scott Eyre threw 26 pitches off the mound on Wednesday and reported no pain in his strained left calf. Eyre could be available soon after he is eligible to return from the DL.

Our View:

Eyre has now thrown twice, once playing catch and this one off the mound, without feeling any pain in his calf. He will still likely need a rehab assignment, but he should be ready to go sometime next week.

June 21, 2009

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, injured reliever Scott Eyre played catch on Saturday and felt no pain or discomfort in his strained calf.

Our View:

Eyre injured the calf nine days ago and is progressing nicely, but has yet to test it out on a mound. He is eligible to come off the DL on Friday, but stated that it may be a bit longer than that. He will make a minor league rehab appearance before rejoining the Phillies.

June 12, 2009

Updating a previous report, the Phillies have now placed Scott Eyre on the 15-day disabled list with a left calf strain according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Our View:

This is bad news for the Phillies as their lefty specialist had posted a 2.57 ERA and .196 BAA in 25 games so far in 2009. Kyle Kendrick has been recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to take his roster spot.

June 12, 2009

The Philadelphia Daily News is reporting that Phillies' reliever Scott Eyre suffered a calf injury during Thursday night's game. Manager Charlie Manuel indicated that Eyre "could be out for awhile," but he will be evaluated in the next couple of days.

Our View:

The Phillies' can not afford to lose Eyre, an important piece to their bullpen. We will know more within the next few days, but the fact that Manuel feels he could be out for awhile is not a good sign. We will keep you posted on his condition as the news hits.
