Brett Myers could be converted into a reliever if his right elbow issues persist for much longer. Myers was diagnosed in late April with a mild UCL tear and felt renewed soreness last week after going four-plus innings in a rehab start at Double-A Akron. "We'd like to let him come back as a starter," manager Terry Francona told reporters. "Saying that, I guess if it ever got to the point where we thought he could handle being a reliever, maybe that's something we would look at, just out of common sense."
