Myers will start a potential Game 3 of the National League Wild Card Series versus the Mets on Thursday if he's not needed in relief in Game 2, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.
It's all hands on deck for the Brewers on Wednesday as they try to stave off elimination, but Myers is tentatively lined up to take the ball in Game 3, if Milwaukee is able to force a winner-take-all contest. Myers was arguably the Brewers' biggest surprise this season as he held a 3.00 ERA and 127:36 K:BB across 138 frames in his rookie year.

Rotowire
Myers (9-6) allowed one hit and struck out five without walking a batter over four shutout innings to earn the win in relief Saturday versus the Mets.

The rookie right-hander allowed 13 runs (10 earned) over 29.2 innings across six outings in September, a performance right in line with the rest of his season.

Brewers' Tobias Myers: Inefficient in defeat
Rotowire
Myers (8-6) took the loss against Arizona on Thursday, allowing three runs (one earned) on four hits and three walks while striking out five batters over four innings.
Only one of the runs Myers allowed was earned, but he wasn't sharp. The right-hander needed 93 pitches to get through four frames, and only 52 of those offerings were strikes. The outing was Myers' shortest since he went four frames against St. Louis on Aug. 21, and the loss was his first since Aug. 4 versus Washington.
Myers (8-5) allowed four runs on nine hits and struck out three without walking a batter over six-plus innings to earn the win Saturday over the Diamondbacks.
The Brewers spotted Myers with a 13-run lead before he faltered in the sixth and seventh innings. He hasn't exactly been stellar in recent weeks with just one quality start of his last six outings, though he has a 31:9 K:BB over 32.1 innings in that span. Myers is now at a 3.07 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 115:33 K:BB through 126 innings over 24 appearances (23 starts) this year. The rookie right-hander is projected to make his next start at home in a rematch with the Diamondbacks.
Brewers' Tobias Myers: Strikes out career-high 11 in win
Rotowire
Myers (7-5) picked up the win Saturday against the Rockies. He allowed one run on four hits and one walk while striking out 11 over six innings.
Outside of a solo home run served up to Ryan McMahon, Myers was fantastic in one of the best starts of his young career. Myers got his first career start with double-digit strikeouts and at one point recorded eight straight outs via punchout. The rookie right-hander has been one of the better pitchers in the National League for over half the season now. Since the beginning of June, Myers has a 2.22 ERA, which is good for third best in all of MLB over that span.

Brewers' Tobias Myers: Fans seven in no-decision
Rotowire
Myers did not factor into the decision in Sunday's loss to the Reds, allowing three runs (two earned) on eight hits and four walks while striking out seven in 5.2 innings.
Sunday's outing could have been much worse for Myers, who matched his season-worst marks in both hits and walks allowed with eight and four, respectively. Myers was able to limit the damage with some timely strikeouts, allowing two runs to score on sacrifice flies and a third on a Jake Fraley solo home run. Myers has been a highly dependable pitcher for the Brewers this season, particularly since the All-Star break, after which he has allowed three runs or fewer in all eight of his starts. During that span, Myers owns an impressive 2.76 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 39:12 K:BB in 42.1 innings. The right-hander is tentatively scheduled for a favorable home start against Colorado next weekend.
Myers allowed three runs on three hits and a walk while striking out four over five innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Tuesday.
Myers allowed solo home runs to Matt Chapman and Grant McCray. He left the game on the hook for the loss, but Myers was bailed out by Willy Adames putting the Brewers briefly ahead with a two-run homer in the sixth. August has been just okay for Myers, who has allowed 10 runs (eight earned) over 27 innings this month, though he's pitched into the sixth inning in just two of his five starts in that span. He's now at a 2.99 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 94:28 K:BB over 108.1 innings through 21 appearances (20 starts). The rookie right-hander's next start is projected to be in Cincinnati.
Myers allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five over four innings in a no-decision versus the Cardinals on Wednesday.
Myers was inefficient, requiring 89 pitches (59 strikes) to get through four frames, matching his shortest start since the All-Star break. On the bright side, he kept the ball in the yard for a third straight start. Myers is now at a 2.87 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 90:27 K:BB through 103.1 innings over 20 appearances (19 starts) this year. Fatigue shouldn't be an issue just yet -- the rookie right-hander threw 140.2 innings overall in 2023 and is at just 122 frames across all levels in 2024. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Giants.
Brewers' Tobias Myers: Tosses 5.2 frames in no-decision
Rotowire
Myers allowed four runs (two earned) on eight hits and one walk while striking out one batter over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Thursday.
Myers didn't come close to matching the 7.1-inning scoreless gem he tossed in his previous outing, but he would have had another quality start Thursday had he been able to get one more out. The right-hander exited in the sixth with the score tied 3-3, and he watched from the dugout as one more run was added to his ledger when Elvis Peguero allowed an inherited runner to cross the plate. While this wasn't among Myers' better starts -- especially from a strikeout perspective, as he induced just four whiffs and notched only one punchout -- he did show the ability to hang around against elite competition. The rookie has now allowed two or fewer earned runs in 11 of his past 12 appearances, and he has a sparkling 1.86 ERA over 72.2 frames during that span.
Myers pitched 7.1 scoreless innings, allowing three hits and no walks while striking out nine batters, in a no-decision against Cincinnati on Saturday.
Myers and Reds starter Nick Martinez both shined in the outing -- neither gave up a run, and the hurlers combined to allow just four hits over 14.1 frames. Three of those hits were surrendered by Myers, but none went for extra bases, and he notched a season-high nine punchouts to Martinez's seven. Myers has now allowed just two runs over 16.1 frames across his past three starts, but he doesn't have a win to show for it. Nonetheless, he's more than solidified his spot in the rotation since returning from a short stint in the minors June 5. Across 11 starts since that date, the right-hander has posted a sparkling 1.75 ERA and 0.93 WHIP over 67 frames.
