Brett Myers is scheduled to throw off a mound Friday for the first time since hitting the disabled list.

Myers has been out since April 21 with a mild tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. That type of injury usually requires surgery, but the 32-year-old right-hander is hoping to pitch through it. There is no timetable for his return to Cleveland.

Indians manager Terry Francona said Monday that Brett Myers (elbow) is progressing "very well" in his rehab.

Myers was diagnosed with a mild tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow last month, but he's going to try to pitch through the injury. He is scheduled to throw a bullpen session this week and one early next week before being re-evaluated. There's no clear timetable for his return.

Brett Myers (elbow) is hoping to resume throwing off a mound in a week.

Myers played long-toss from 75 feet on Saturday for the second straight day. "I was throwing at about 75 feet both days," said Myers. "I'll take Sunday off and go from there. Hopefully, I'll be back on the mound in a week. That would be the ideal plan for me." Myers is nursing a mild tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow but is trying to pitch through the ailment.

Brett Myers (elbow) was cleared by a doctor on Friday to begin playing catch.

Myers revealed the news himself on Twitter. The right-hander had been shut down for two weeks with a mild tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, but he's obviously hoping to avoid surgery. We'll obviously know more about his progress once he's throwing from a mound.

Brett Myers (elbow) will be re-evaluated on Friday and could be cleared to start a throwing program at that time.

Myers has been shut down for two weeks with a mild tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. The throwing program would be gradual, so it would take him a while before he's ready to rejoin the Indians' rotation.

Brett Myers has been diagnosed with a mild tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.

That type of injury can often lead to Tommy John surgery, but it's not a consideration at this time. Myers was officially placed on the 15-day disabled list Sunday and won't pick up a baseball for the next two weeks. There is obviously no timetable for his return.

Indians placed RHP Brett Myers on the 15-day disabled list with a right arm injury.

Myers left his last start because of forearm soreness, and it looks like the injury was serious enough that he'll have to miss a few starts. Fernando Nieve was promoted to take his roster spot, and Corey Kluber will make Myers' next scheduled start against the White Sox on Wednesday.

Brett Myers will head back to Cleveland on Sunday to undergo an MRI on his right forearm.

Myers was pulled from Friday night's game after the fifth inning because of forearm soreness. The Indians should be able to get some answers from the MRI results. It's very possible that the veteran right-hander will ultimately be placed on the 15-day disabled list.

Brett Myers is dealing with right forearm soreness.

Myers was removed from Friday's game after the fifth inning and will likely need to be reevaluated this week. The Indians are concerned about his diminished velocity this season and league leading 10 home runs allowed. Myers should avoid the disabled list for now, but this has the potential to be a serious setback.

Brett Myers pitched decently in a losing effort against his former team on Friday, surrendering three runs on five hits over five frames.

All of the damage against him came in the second inning, where J.D. Martinez blasted a two-run homer, which was immediately followed by a solo shot from Rick Ankiel. Myers settled in nicely afterwards though, and did enough to keep his team in the game. He'll carry an 8.02 ERA into Wednesday's start against the White Sox in Chicago, where he'll again attempt to earn his first win as an Indian.

Brett Myers rebounded from his disastrous first two appearances with a nice showing Sunday, holding the White Sox to run runs over six innings in a loss.

Myers gave up six hits, walked one and struck out four, with the lone blemish coming in the form of a Paul Konerko two-run shot. It's a welcome change after the righty surrendered 12 runs over his first 10 1/3 frames, though he's now served up eight home runs over his first 16 1/3 frames. He'll take an 8.82 ERA and 1.65 WHIP into Houston next weekend.

Brett Myers' next start will come on Sunday versus the White Sox.

Myers had been scheduled to take the ball Wednesday, but he had to be used in relief Tuesday after Carlos Carrasco was ejected. The veteran right-hander has an ugly 12.19 ERA and 1.94 WHIP through 10 1/3 innings this season.

Brett Myers was lit up for four homers and seven runs in five innings by the Blue Jays on Thursday.

Jose Bautista, J.P. Arencibia (twice) and Edwin Encarnacion took him deep. Myers will give the Indians innings and probably keep them in games more often than not, but he has little fantasy upside. He's a matchup guy at best in AL-only leagues.

Brett Myers was blasted for 10 runs on 14 hits and a walk over 3 1/3 innings against the Rockies Monday.

He also hit a batter in what was a truly woeful performance. Myers has had an awful spring, posting an 11.25 ERA and 2.56 WHIP over five starts. He should have plenty of leash as one of the more experienced members of the Indians' rotation, but the club surely isn't encouraged by what they've seen during Cactus League play.

Brett Myers was tagged for four runs over four innings in Friday's loss to the Brewers.

Myers was touched up for seven hits and walked three batters. He has been shaky in his last two starts, but it's not completely unexpected given that he's in the process of getting stretched out after spending last season in the bullpen. We don't have high hopes for him in mixed fantasy leagues, but he should be a useful mid-rotation starter with the Indians.

Brett Myers yielded one earned run over three innings Wednesday in the Indians' loss to the Mariners.

Myers surrendered two hits and issued one walk. He didn't strike out anybody. The 32-year-old right-hander inked a one-year, $7 million contract with the Indians this offseason and will operate as a starter in 2013.

Brett Myers' $8 million option for 2014 will become guaranteed if he pitches 200 innings this season.

Myers would also need to pass a physical following the season, but it's clear that the Indians don't have total control over whether the option gets picked up. Prior to being used as a reliever last year, Myers had back-to-back seasons of 200-plus innings with the Astros, so he should have a realistic chance of hitting that benchmark again if he can stay healthy.

Indians signed RHP Brett Myers to a one-year, $7 million contract.

The deal also contains a club option for 2014. Myers spent all of 2012 in the bullpen, posting a 3.31 ERA and 41/15 K/BB ratio over 65 1/3 innings, but the Indians will stick him in the rotation. The 32-year-old has made 249 of his 377 career appearances as a starter and, at the very least, should be a solid innings-eater for the Tribe.

Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that Brett Myers will take his physical with the Indians on Friday.

Assuming he passes, his one-year, $7 million deal with the Indians will be finalized. The contract also includes a club option for 2014. Myers, 32, posted a 3.31 ERA and 41/15 K/BB ratio over 65 1/3 innings last season as a reliever, but the Indians plan to give him a rotation spot.

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that Brett Myers' new one-year deal with the Indians is worth $7 million.

This presumably includes the buyout for the 2014 club option. It's a nice chunk of change for Myers, who posted a 3.31 ERA and 41/15 K/BB ratio over 65 1/3 innings of relief last season with the Astros and White Sox. The Indians plan to use him as a starter.
