Jul 20 After a three-week stint in the minors, RHP Brett Myers will make his return to the rotation Wednesday against the New York Mets. "I can't think of a better team for me to come back against. I don't like them. We're not supposed to like them. Nothing against the guys on the team - they're our rivals. We like beating them; they like beating us," Myers said. In four starts at three different levels in the minors, Myers went 1-3 with a 3.00 ERA. He allowed 24 hits in 27 innings, walking seven and striking out 28. Myers, who was 3-9 with a 5.84 ERA before being sent down, thinks the trip to the minors helped his mind-set. "I feel way more confident than I did. I feel like I was aggressive again. I had to get some swagger back, and I feel I accomplished that." ... Foxsports.com reported the Phillies and Colorado Rockies were working on a multi-player deal that would have netted Philadelphia OF Matt Holliday and reliever Brian Fuentes. The deal, which reportedly would have cost the Phillies OF Shane Victorino, C Lou Marson and Ps Carlos Carrasco and J.A. Happ, could not be finalized.
