• Wil Myers: Playing career over

  12/23/2024 • By RotoWire

  Myers said last week that he has no intention of resuming his baseball career, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports. Myers noted that he will never officially retire, but he decided in June of 2023 after being released by the Reds amidst shoulder problems that he would not play baseball again. The 34-year-old slashed .252/.326/.437 with 156 home runs over parts of 11 major-league seasons, winning the American League Rookie of the Year award in 2013 and making one All-Star team in 2016.

• Wil Myers: Released by Cincy

  06/23/2023 • By RotoWire

  The Reds released Myers on Thursday. Myers was DFA'd by the Reds on Tuesday upon returning from the 10-day injured list. Myers has played well-below his usual standard this season, recording just a .540 OPS through 141 plate appearances in Cincinnati. His previous history in the majors could be enough to at least get him a minor-league deal, but Myers would have to turn things around in a big way to have any fantasy value.

• Reds' Wil Myers: Reinstated from IL, DFA'd

  06/20/2023 • By RotoWire

  The Reds reinstated Myers (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and designated him for assignment. Myers landed on the IL on May 26 with kidney stones before also suffering a left shoulder sprain. The 32-year-old outfielder was slashing .189/.257/.283 through 141 plate appearances prior to getting injured and put up similar numbers during his rehab assignment, so the Reds will pass him through waivers and attempt to keep Myers in Triple-A.

• Reds' Wil Myers: Could return next weekend

  06/11/2023 • By RotoWire

  Myers (shoulder) recently said that he could return from the 10-day injured list ahead of the Reds' series in Houston that begins Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Myers, who is working his way back from a left shoulder sprain and who also recently passed a kidney stone, began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville this weekend and has gone 0-for-6 with a walk between his first two games with the affiliate. He looks as though he'll play at least a couple more games with Louisville before returning to the big club, though once he's activated, it's unclear if Myers will be in store for an everyday role in what's suddenly a crowded Cincinnati roster. Even before landing on the IL on May 26, Myers had mustered a measly .540 OPS through his first 141 plate appearances with Cincinnati.
