Myers went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Sunday's victory over Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
With a ground rule double in the first inning and a two-run homer in the third, Myers helped the Padres get off to a big lead, from which they did not look back. The big day at the plate comes as Myers is challenged for playing time with Brandon Drury healthy and producing again and Myers was just 1-for-9 in his previous three starts. He is slashing .255/.306/.379 with five home runs, 34 RBI and 27 runs scored through 265 plate appearances this season.

Myers is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old started the past seven games at first base and posted a .970 OPS with Brandon Drury (concussion) on the injured list, but Drury was activated Thursday and is back in the lineup. Myers is likely to see more limited action now that the Friars are healthier.

Myers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Myers was hampered by neck tightness earlier in the week, but returned to the lineup Tuesday. He made an impact Wednesday with his fourth homer of the season, taking Arizona starter Tommy Henry deep in the fourth inning to give the Padres the lead for good. Myers has gone just 2-for-14 across five games to begin September. He's slashing .248/.295/.359 with 30 RBI, 22 runs scored, 11 doubles and no stolen bases through 59 contests overall. He should play against most southpaws and the some right-handers.

Myers (neck) is starting at first base and batting seventh Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Myers was sidelined by neck tightness the past couple days but will rejoin the starting nine Tuesday. The 31-year-old has a .270/.329/.419 slash line with two home runs, 10 RBI and seven runs scored in 25 games since he returned from a two-month absence due to a knee injury at the start of August.

Myers (neck) isn't starting Monday against Arizona, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Myers was removed from Sunday's game against the Dodgers due to neck tightness and is considered day-to-day. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available off the bench during Monday's series opener against Arizona.

Myers (neck) said after Sunday's game against the Dodgers that he's considered day-to-day, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Myers departed Sunday's matchup due to neck tightness, but it seems unlikely that the issue will force him to miss significant time. The 31-year-old will presumably be monitored ahead of Monday's series opener against the Diamondbacks, but early reports regarding his injury are certainly encouraging.

Myers was removed from Sunday's game against the Dodgers in the bottom of the third inning due to neck tightness, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Myers went 0-for-1 with a strikeout to begin Sunday's matchup, but he was replaced defensively in the bottom of the third inning. The severity of his injury isn't yet clear, but he should tentatively be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's series opener against the Diamondbacks.

Myers went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's win over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Myers knocked in Josh Bell on a two-run homer in the second inning. It was his second home run in consecutive games and his third on the year. Myers has six hits in his last 18 at-bats, taking his batting average from .248 to .254. He has also struck out seven times during that span. Myers has a propensity to strike out (he has more strikeouts than hits and walks combined this season), so his batting average upside is limited. However, he does appear to be getting his power stroke back after sitting on the IL for all of June and July.

Myers went 3-for-5 with a two-run double, a solo home run and two total runs scored in Friday's win over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Myers doubled home Josh Bell and Brandon Drury in the first inning, then launched a solo shot in the third. He reached home in the seventh inning on an Austin Nola sac fly. The homer was Myers' second of the year and his first since May 13, although he missed all of June and July with a knee injury. The outfielder is slashing .296/.350/.426 in August, but he has more strikeouts than hits and walks combined this month. His season batting average now sits at .253 after Friday's three-hit game.

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