• Marlins' Dane Myers: Homers, drives in five in win

  09/29/2024 • By RotoWire

  Myers went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and five RBI in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Blue Jays. Myers doubled home two runs in the sixth inning and then broke the game open with a three-run homer in the eighth. The long ball was the 28-year-old's first since July 6, as he missed over two months with a fractured left ankle. On the year, he's batting .264 with three home runs, 19 RBI, 17 runs scored and four steals across just 104 plate appearances with the Marlins.

• Marlins' Dane Myers: Returns from 60-day IL

  09/24/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Marlins activated Myers (ankle) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. Myers has been shelved since just before the All-Star break with a fractured left ankle, but he's ready to return after playing a few rehab games with Triple-A Jacksonville. The Marlins currently aren't scheduled to face any lefties this week, so the right-handed hitting Myers will likely be more of a bench bat.

  The Marlins are expected to activate Myers (ankle) from the 60-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Twins, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports. Myers has been on the shelf since July 13 while recovering from a fractured left ankle, but he's ready to rejoin the big club for the final week of the season after going 4-for-12 with two home runs and two walks over four rehab games with Triple-A Jacksonville. The 28-year-old could be a candidate to occupy the short side of a platoon with one of the Marlins' three left-handed-hitting everyday outfielders (Kyle Stowers, Jesus Sanchez and Griffin Conine).

  09/17/2024 • By RotoWire

  Myers (ankle) is scheduled to advance his running progression and take live batting practice this week, MLB.com reports. On the shelf since July 14 after he fractured his left ankle when he kicked a clubhouse door following his ejection from a game a day earlier, Myers looks to be gearing up for a return from the 60-day injured list at some point during the final week of the season. When healthy this season, Myers has typically been used in the short side of a platoon in the Miami outfield. He logged 95 plate appearances prior to landing on the IL and slashed .265/.337/.422 with two home runs and four stolen bases.

  07/14/2024 • By RotoWire

  Myers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds. Myers looked to be moving into a full-time role last week, but he now finds himself on the bench for the fourth time in six contests. The right-handed-hitting Myers had previously occupied the short side of a platoon in right field with the lefty-hitting Jesus Sanchez, but the Marlins will keep Sanchez in the lineup over Myers while southpaw Nick Lodolo takes the hill for the Reds on Sunday.
