PHILLIES STATEMENT CONCERNING BRETT MYERS The Phillies are aware that Brett Myers was arrested in Boston at about 12:30 a.m. today on charges of assault and battery involving an alleged incident with his wife, Kim. He was released immediately after booking on $200.00 bail and ordered to appear this morning for preliminary arraignment, which he did. A further hearing date was set for August 4, 2006, which does not require his appearance.
Out of respect for the privacy of both Kim and Brett Myers, the Phillies will not comment on this incident until the matter is resolved by the Court.
Myers will pitch, as scheduled, tomorrow afternoon against Boston.
