roster moves

Lefty reliever Jack Taschner, who says he's found a new arm slot courtesy of Rich Dubee and Rod Nichols, was called up to Philadelphia on Tuesday. Minor league pitcher Stephen Register and catcher Joel Naughton were DFA'd and Antonio Bastardo was taken off the 60-day DL and optioned to Double-A Reading. Brett Myers, a remarkable story of hard work and dedication, is due to rejoin the Phillies prior to tonight's game in Houston. He will pitch in the bullpen for the rest of the season. Clay Condrey will be on a rehab assignment tomorrow with the IronPigs. J.C. Romero and Gregg Dobbs remain on the DL. More moves to come.

I'm off to a doubleheader at Coca-Cola Park.
