Returns from 60-day IL The Marlins activated Myers (ankle) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact 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.

SEPTEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to be activated Tuesday 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.

Impact 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).

Ready for live BP Myers (ankle) is scheduled to advance his running progression and take live batting practice this week, MLB.com reports.

Impact 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.

Cleared for baseball activities Myers announced Monday that he has been cleared for baseball activities, MLB.com reports.

Impact After fracturing his left ankle July 13, Myers had been limited to upper-body workouts and running on an anti-gravity treadmill before getting the green light to resume baseball work. Given the length of his layoff, Myers will need to time to complete a running program and regain his timing at the plate, so he probably won't be a realistic option to return from the 60-day injured list until late September.

SEPTEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Shifts to 60-day IL The Marlins transferred Myers (ankle) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

Impact Myers was ruled out 6-to-8 weeks after he suffered a fractured ankle in mid-July, so the move to the 60-day IL won't affect his return timeline. The 28-year-old will be eligible to be activated in mid-September, though any setbacks in his rehab program could prevent him from returning before the end of the season.

Out 6-8 weeks with ankle injury Myers suffered a fractured left ankle kicking the clubhouse door Saturday and will miss 6-to-8 weeks, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact The righty-hitting outfielder was slashing .265/.337/.422 with two home runs and four steals in 95 plate appearances. Myers had been mostly limited to starts against left-handed pitchers this season, and the injury explains his absence from Sunday's matchup against lefty Nick Lodolo.

Sitting against lefty Sunday Myers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Impact 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.

Contributes in Friday's start Myers went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 3-2 loss to the White Sox.

Impact Seeing his first action in July, Myers chased Drew Thorpe from the game with a seventh-inning double before scoring the Marlins' first run of the night. The 28-year-old outfielder is beginning to see his playing time tick up, and he's taking advantage -- Myers has started three of the last eight games while also coming off the bench in a fourth, going 4-for-12 (.333) during that brief stretch with three of his five doubles and two of his three steals on the season. With Miami desperate for offense, manager Skip Schumaker could write Myers' name on the lineup card more frequently heading into the All-Star break.
