Brett Myers was seen limping around the clubhouse Wednesday, but he said his strained right hamstring is fine. Myers pitched a solid eight innings Tuesday and didn't appear to be favoring the hamstring at all. He should be fine for his next start, but it's worth keeping an eye on.

The Astros will start Brett Myers, Bud Norris, Wandy Rodriguez, Jordan Lyles and J.A. Happ in the first five games after the All-Star break. It's telling, though not surprising given his struggles, that Happ was pushed back to the No. 5 spot. Management has said they've had no discussions about removing Happ from the rotation, but we can't imagine that his leash is terribly long even with the 'Stros lack of pitching depth.

Brett Myers allowed six earned runs in four-plus innings Saturday in a loss to the Marlins. The Astros are now 31 games under .500 for the first time in 20 years. Myers walked four and yielded four hits in the shaky outing, and is now carrying a 4.88 ERA. Unless he's traded, he's not going to hold much fantasy value in the second half.

Brett Myers gave up five runs -- four earned -- and 13 hits in six innings Monday in a loss to the Pirates. Myers had turned in three straight quality starts, the last two coming against the Rangers, but he stumbled today. Everything he threw was in the strike zone, and most of it got hit. He finished the day with one strikeout and no walks. The 13 hits allowed were a new career high for him. He gave up 12 in a start April 7, 2010 versus the Giants.

Brett Myers fell to 3-7 on Wednesday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk in seven innings of Houston's 3-2 loss to the Rangers. He struck out four while allowing a pair of solo home runs to Ian Kinsler. After getting off to a rough start this season, Myers will finish June with a 3.73 ERA and 29/8 K/BB ratio in 41 innings of work. He's an excellent flier to take if he's on your league's waiver wire.

Brett Myers allowed two runs on six hits and two walks in six innings of work on Wednesday evening, taking a no-decision in Houston's 5-3 win over the Rangers. Coming off a complete-game effort against the Dodgers, he struck out six. Just when it looked like Myers was set to be a no-go in mixed leagues this season, he's reeled off two straight solid outings. If a frustrated owner cut him loose, he's a solid flier to take.
