Racks up three hits Sunday Myers went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run during Sunday's 6-0 win over the Nationals.

Impact Myers was out of the lineup for four consecutive games ahead of Sunday's series finale in Washington, but he drew the start in left field Sunday and helped propel the Padres to the win. The 31-year-old has slashed .333/.367/.407 with two doubles, five RBI and two runs over nine games since the start of August, but his fantasy potential is limited due to his lack of playing time following the trade deadline.

Takes seat Tuesday Myers is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants, according to Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune.

Impact Myers started the last three games in center field, but Trent Grisham will be back in that spot Tuesday night. The Padres have now faced right-handed starters three times since both Juan Soto and Josh Bell made their debuts, and Myers has opened on the bench in each contest.

On base twice in return Myers (knee) went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Monday's 4-1 win over the Rockies.

Impact Myers missed over two months with the knee injury. His RBI in this contest came on a groundout in the first inning. Eric Hosmer (neck) is day-to-day, which could allow Myers to be eased back into action by picking up starts at first base. Ultimately, it's expected Myers mostly plays in right field when the Padres are at full health. The veteran has a .236/.283/.307 slash line with one home run, 20 RBI, 13 runs scored and no stolen bases in 33 contests this year, so he could slip into a part-time role if he doesn't hit well right away.
