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

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

Myers (knee) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and is starting Monday against the Rockies, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Myers was expected to return at some point during the Padres' weekend series against the Twins, but the team ultimately waited to activate him until Monday. The 31-year-old appeared in 14 rehab games over the last few weeks, and he hit .264 with four home runs, two doubles, eight runs and seven RBI. He's starting at first base Monday with Eric Hosmer (neck) out, and Myers should see regular playing time now that he's back to full health.

Padres manager Bob Melvin said Friday that Myers (knee) will rejoin the Padres before the end of the team's series against Minnesota, which concludes Sunday, Allison Edmonds of KUSI Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Myers has been playing in minor-league rehab games for over two weeks, slashing .292/.320/.583 with four home runs, seven RBI and eight runs in 12 games between Single-A Lake Elsinore and Triple-A El Paso. The veteran has logged considerable time at first base during the rehab stint, and he could see more time at that position upon his return to the majors, per Dennis Lin of The Athletic. Melvin gave some insight about Myers' work at first, stating, "We're just trying to create a little bit more of a flexible and versatile roster."

The Padres are planning on keeping Myers (knee) on his minor-league rehab assignment for at least a couple more days, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Both manager Bob Melvin and Myers feel that the 31-year-old can benefit from some more at-bats in the minors while he works to regain comfort in his right knee, an injury that has kept him on the shelf since June 3. He made the eighth appearance of his rehab assignment Sunday for Triple-A El Paso and has slashed .313/.353/.563 with two home runs during the minor-league stint. Once activated, Myers should displace Nomar Mazara as the Friars' primary right fielder.

Myers (knee) had his rehab assignment moved to Triple-A El Paso on Friday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Myers hit .333 (6-for-18) with a pair of home runs in five rehab games with Single-A Lake Elsinore, and he singled in four at-bats in his first game with El Paso on Friday. The veteran outfielder was the designated hitter in all but one of his contests in Single-A, but he played first base for the Chihuahuas in his first game with the Triple-A club. Myers is expected to play with El Paso through the weekend before potentially returning to the Padres next week, per MLB.com.

Myers (knee) has gone 5-for-15 with two home runs, four RBI and five runs through four games in his rehab assignment with Single-A Lake Elsinore.
EDGE Analysis
Myers has collected at least one hit in each of his four games thus far and has homered in each of his last two. The veteran has played center field in one of the contests and has been the designated hitter in the other three. Myers is expected to start at DH for the Storm again Sunday, and he could rejoin the Padres upon the conclusion of the All-Star break.

Myers (knee) went 2-for-4 with a run and a strikeout in a rehab appearance with Single-A Lake Elsinore on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Myers collected a pair of singles in his first game action since May 31. The right fielder had at one point been considering surgery for the inflammation in his right knee, but the issue appears to have improved with an extended period of rest. Myers is likely to need at least a few more rehab appearances before he's cleared to rejoin the Padres.
