Hitting off tee Myers (thumb) is expected to begin hitting off a tee Thursday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Myers has experienced a significant decrease in the swelling in his right thumb since landing on the shelf a week ago, and he could return as soon as the upcoming series against the Cubs, which begins Monday. However, he'll need to see how his body responds to the increase in activity, and it's also possible he'll require a brief rehab stint.

Moved to IL The Padres placed Myers (thumb) on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

Impact Myers won't be eligible to return from the IL until at least May 7 after the Padres opted to deactivate him while he recovers from the right thumb contusion he sustained in Tuesday's 9-6 win over the Reds. The lefty-hitting Matt Beaty has picked up two straight starts in right field in Myers' stead and should serve as the primary option at the position while the latter is sidelined, at least against right-handed pitching.

Still sidelined Thursday Myers (thumb/finger) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Reds.

Impact Myers will be on the bench for the second game in a row while he tends to the right thumb and index finger injury he sustained in Tuesday's 9-6 win in the series opener. Matt Beaty will make a second consecutive start in right field in place of Myers, who could be bound for the injured list if he doesn't show much improvement heading into the weekend. The Padres have already brought up Trayce Thompson from Triple-A El Paso and added him to the taxi squad, so he would presumably be in line for a promotion to the active roster if Myers lands on the shelf.

Aggravates injury, out Wednesday Myers aggravated a bruise between his right thumb and index finger during Tuesday's win over the Reds and won't play Wednesday, the Associated Press reports.

Impact Myers' issue appeared to flare up during his fifth-inning at-bat, and he was replaced in the field by Jose Azocar in the bottom of the sixth. The injury cost Myers three games in mid-April, and Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports that the reaggravation "looks worse than last time." With that in mind, the veteran outfielder may be in for a multi-game absence, though the Padres have yet to issue an update on the severity of the injury.
