Myers On Leave
Brett Myers asked for and was granted a leave of absence by the Philadelphia Phillies in the wake of his arrest in Boston:
"First, while I dispute that the facts are as alleged, I recognize that my behavior was inappropriate and for that I apologize," Myers said in a statement. "Second, I recognize that the incident created an embarrassing situation for many people, including my wife and family, my teammates, the Phillies organization, and fans, and I am very sorry for that."
He'll be out through the All-Star Game.
