Tweaks hamstring in marathon loss Padres manager Jayce Tingler said after Wednesday's 16-inning loss to the Dodgers that Myers exited the contest due to a "hamstring deal," Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribu...

Impact Myers went 1-for-2 with a walk and an RBI before he was replaced in the top of the ninth inning by Jake Marisnick. The Padres had already been moving Myers into more of a part-time role of late with Fernando Tatis joining the outfield mix, so it wouldn't be surprising if Myers was withheld from the lineup for Thursday's series finale.

Takes seat Sunday Myers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Impact After going 4-for-12 with two home runs, a double and three RBI while starting each of the past three games, Myers will take a seat for the series finale. He'll likely continue to rotate days off with Tommy Pham and Trent Grisham in the outfield the rest of the season now that shortstop Fernando Tatis has transitioned to an everyday role at Myers' old home in right field.

Slugs two homers in loss Myers went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and three RBI in a loss to Colorado on Wednesday.

Impact Both of Myers' homers were 426-foot blasts, one of which went to left field and the other to center. He has been hitting well of late, going 7-for-17 with three long balls and five RBI over his past six games. However, the veteran has been losing playing time in the outfield since Fernando Tatis' return, dinging his fantasy value considerably.

Cedes right field to Tatis Myers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact With Fernando Tatis (shoulder) making his first career start in right field in his return from the 10-day injured list, Myers will head to the bench while Tommy Pham and Trent Grisham join Tatis in the outfield. The Padres could look to keep Tatis in right field on a permanent basis to limit the wear and tear on his dislocated shoulder, in which case Myers could be moved into more of a part-time role. Myers isn't regarded as a strong defender in the corner outfield, though he's at least helped his case at the plate of late by posting a respectable .732 OPS through his first 12 games of August.

Impact The Padres managed only two runs in the contest, with both coming on Myers' game-tying homer off Madison Bumgarner in the seventh inning. The veteran outfielder also doubled and singled Friday for his first three-hit game since July 16. That July contest was also the last time Myers had gone deep before Friday, and he batted .226 with only two extra-base hits and three RBI across 23 games between the outings.

Out again Tuesday Myers (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact It's unclear whether Myers is still dealing with hamstring tightness, or if he's merely a casualty of Adam Frazier making his Padres debut in left field and Tommy Pham shifting to right field. Details about Myers' hamstring, if it is still an issue, should become available in the next day or so.

Nursing tight hamstring Myers was held out of Sunday's lineup for precautionary reasons after his hamstring tightened up during Saturday's contest versus Miami, per 97.3 The Fan.

Impact The incident during which Myers felt the tightness was a play in the field, though the veteran was able to stay in the game. He didn't start Sunday, but Myers grounded out without incident as a pinch hitter, so the hamstring issue may indeed be a minor one. Even when he's at full health, Myers' playing time may be negatively impacted by the addition of Adam Frazier, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN reports.

Impact Myers will be on the bench for the second time in the four-game series, giving way to Jurickson Profar in right field. Since coming out of the All-Star break with a two-homer, seven-RBI effort, Myers has fallen into a 4-for-19 skid over his past seven contests.
