Impact Myers' move to the IL was merely a formality after he was revealed Tuesday to have tested positive for the coronavirus. With utility men Jurickson Profar and Jorge Mateo already on the COVID-19 IL, the Padres could turn to recent call-ups Brian O'Grady and Patrick Kivlehan to pick up starts in the corner outfield in the short term.

Tests positive for coronavirus Myers was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rockies after testing positive for COVID-19, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Fernando Tatis tested positive earlier in the day, with Jorge Mateo and Jurickson Profar landing on the COVID-19 injured list as close contacts. Myers is asymptomatic, and his return timeline will depend on whether he is fully vaccinated and when he tests negative for the virus.

Impact The 30-year-old appeared to suffer the injury during the first inning when making a catch against the outfield wall, and he was replaced in right field by Tucupita Marcano during the third inning.

Swipes three bags Myers went 1-for-4 with three stolen bases and a run in Saturday's loss to the Dodgers.
Impact Despite notching only one hit, Myers ran wild on the bases, stealing second following a single in the second inning and then swiping both second and third -- the latter on a double-steal -- after getting on base via fielder's choice in the eighth. With the trio of thefts, Myers has already surpassed his total of two steals he amassed across 55 games in 2020.

Ends drought with HR Myers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs scored during Friday's 6-1 win over the Dodgers.
Impact Myers ended an 0-for-12 drought to lead off the second inning when he took Clayton Kershaw deep to left to tie the game up at one apiece. The 30-year-old has been experiencing some inflammation in his right knee which has likely contributed to his recent struggles, as he was slashing .333/.424/.588 before going hitless over a five-game stretch entering Friday. It's unclear if he's still affected by the knee issue or not but will look to return to his early-season form after finally making some hard contact at the plate.
