STATEMENT FROM PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES PITCHER JAMIE MOYER

JULY 23, 2010

"As you know by now, I suffered an elbow injury during my last start.  We are still meeting with doctors to get a thorough diagnosis of the injury.  There have been reports circulating that have put a timeline on my recovery and the extent of my injury.  Since these reports did not come from me, I wanted to set the record straight.

The bottom line is that we still don't know these answers.  I have every intention of pitching again and am starting a rehab program today.  When we have a more complete diagnosis, I will work with the Phillies' training and medical staff to put together a plan for getting back on the mound.

Thanks, as always, to all of the fans and friends who have contacted us and The Moyer Foundation with well wishes.  I have been blessed with a wonderful, and mostly injury free, career and I look forward to continuing that career as soon as possible.  In the meantime, I will do whatever I can to be there for my teammates and work hard to get back on the mound.  Thanks again for everything."
