Myers was activated off the COVID-19 injured list Saturday as expected and will bat seventh and play right field against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Myers' time with the Reds hasn't gotten off to a great start, as he hit .222/.292/.321 in 23 games before coming down with COVID-19. He'll hope to get back on track now that he's healthy. Matt Reynolds was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Myers (illness) said he's aiming to return to the Reds' lineup Saturday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Myers has been away from the club since April 26 and revealed Friday that he was down with COVID-19. He's been cleared to be around his teammates again and seems likely to be activated for the second game of the Reds' three-game series against the visiting White Sox.

Myers (illness) is not in the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Myers was placed on the injured list Thursday with an undisclosed illness. He can be activated at any time -- it's the COVID IL, not the 10-day IL -- but it's unclear whether the 32-year-old even traveled with the Reds out to Oakland. Spencer Steer is playing first base Friday and Jake Fraley is in right field.

Myers was placed on the injured list Thursday, retroactive to April 26, with an undisclosed illness.
EDGE Analysis
Myers was scratched from the Reds' lineup Wednesday and is now apparently looking at an extended absence, but he's on the COVID IL and not the 10-day IL, so he can be activated at any time. The exact nature of the ailment has yet not been specified.

Myers has been scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rangers with an illness, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Myers was originally set to return to the lineup after missing Tuesday's 7-6 win with neck spasms, but he'll remain out for a second straight game due to a new issue. Spencer Steer will draw the start at first base while Nick Senzel takes over at the hot corner and bats eighth in the series finale with Texas.

Myers (neck) will start at first base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Myers exited the lineup for just the second time all season in Tuesday's 7-6 win while he dealt with neck spasms, but a day off was apparently all the 32-year-old needed to overcome the issue. He'll step in at first base, where he's projected to see most of his playing time for the foreseeable future with Joey Votto (shoulder/biceps) facing an uncertain timeline to return from the injured list and with the Reds having recently dropped Jason Vosler from the 40-man roster.

Myers was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers due to neck spasms, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Myers can be considered day-to-day until the Reds provide further details on the extent of his injury. Jose Barrero was added to the lineup as a replacement for Myers, batting eighth while serving as Cincinnati's designated hitter.

Myers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
After going 1-for-10 with four strikeouts over his last three games, Myers will get a day off to take a mental reset. Jake Fraley will pick up a start in right field in place of Myers, who had started each of the Reds' first 17 games of the season.
