"Myers, 29, had only recently returned from an IL stint for a right oblique strain. He played in seven games after that two-week absence before suffering this new injury in Tuesday night's game against the Phillies. In the second inning, Myers was fielding a fly ball from Max Kepler when he collided with the outfield wall and injured his knee before eventually being carted off the field."
"In 106 games for Miami in 2025, Myers has batted .235/.291/.326 with a 72 wRC+ and a 23.1% strikeout rate compared to a 6.9% walk rate. Defensively, he has split time at all three outfield spots, with most of his appearances coming in center field. He has been worth 3 Defensive Runs Saved and one Out Above Average. He has also stolen 18 bases this year."
Myers was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right knee laceration after colliding with the outfield wall while fielding a fly ball from Max Kepler and being carted off. He had recently returned from a two-week IL stint for a right oblique strain and played seven games before this injury. He expressed concern about player safety and cited dangerous elements at some big-league fields, referencing Aaron Judge's toe injury at Dodger Stadium. The Marlins remain mathematically alive in the National League playoff race but sit four games behind the Mets with five to play. Joey Wiemer was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville to take Myers' roster spot; the outfield mix will include Jakob Marsee, Griffin Conine, Heriberto Hernández, Troy Johnston, and Javier Sanoja. Myers has hit .235/.291/.326 in 106 games this season with 18 stolen bases and modest defensive metrics.
