Myers (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Lake Elsinore on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Myers went on the 10-day IL on June 3, and he's only recently been able to run the bases as a test of his right knee. The veteran last played in a game May 31, so he'll probably require a few rehab appearances before he's cleared to return to the Padres. Myers will likely retain his role as San Diego's starting right fielder upon his return, though he struggled to a .234/.276/.306 slash line over 134 plate appearances prior to landing on the injured list.

Myers (knee) has been running regularly and took batting practice Saturday, and Padres manager Bob Melvin said the outfielder could begin a rehab assignment during the coming week, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Myers has been sidelined since early June after being diagnosed with right knee inflammation, but he was able to avoid surgery and looks to be close to starting up a rehab assignment. The veteran has dealt with the nagging injury throughout the first half of the season, which could be a factor in his mediocre numbers thus far. Myers registered a .234/.276/.306 slash line with just one home run, 19 RBI and no stolen-base attempts in 32 games prior to his placement on the injured list.

Myers (knee) won't undergo surgery and will instead opt for a plan that involves rest and rehab, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Myers was optimistic that his right knee injury wouldn't require a procedure, and doctors officially recommended that he'll be able to rest and rehab over the next few weeks while his knee improves. The Padres said that the 31-year-old could have a rehab timetable as short as 3-to-4 weeks, but the outfielder will be deliberate in his recovery process to prevent any setbacks. However, Myers is hopeful that he'll be able to return to the field in under six weeks.

Myers is "leaning against" having surgery on his right knee in favor of a plan that includes rest and rehab, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Myers met with doctors Tuesday and is still awaiting their recommendation, but there appears to be optimism that his injured knee can improve without surgery. Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune previously reported that there were "differing opinions" within the organization about the best path forward for the veteran, who has been on the shelf since June 3. It isn't clear how long he'll be out under either scenario, but it's logical to expect that surgery would have a longer timeline for a return than rest and rehabilitation.

Myers was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with right knee inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

The move is backdated to June 1. Brent Rooker was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move and he may occupy the short side of a right field platoon with Nomar Mazara while Myers is sidelined.

Myers (knee) is not in Friday's lineup against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

He got a gel injection in his inflamed right knee following Tuesday's game and has yet to get back into game action. Nomar Mazara is starting in right field and batting sixth.

Myers (knee) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game at Milwaukee, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old received a gel injection for his inflamed right knee after Tuesday's loss to the Cardinals, and he won't be in the lineup Thursday as originally expected. Despite that initial optimism, it's not a major surprise Meyers will be forced to miss at least one game while recovering from the injection. Nomar Mazara had his contract selected from Triple-A El Paso and will make his debut for the Padres in right field.

Myers received a gel injection for his inflamed right knee following Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Cardinals and expects to rejoin the lineup Thursday in Milwaukee, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Myers sat out two straight games with knee inflammation, but he reclaimed his starting role in right field and went 0-for-4 in Tuesday's loss. The 31-year-old seemed to suggest the gel injection was a pre-planned arrangement rather than the result of any setback he experienced, but he was still forced to the bench for Wednesday's 5-2 loss while he waited for the shot to take effect. If Myers ends up needing an extra day to recover from the injection, Jose Azocar could be in line for another start in the outfield Thursday.

Myers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

After missing a pair of games due to right knee inflammation, Myers returned to the lineup for Tuesday's 3-2 loss and went 0-for-4 with a strikeout. The Padres haven't indicated that Myers suffered any setbacks with his knee, so he's likely just getting some extra maintenance as San Diego wraps up its series in St. Louis with a day game after a night game.

Myers (knee) will return to the lineup Tuesday against St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

Myers missed the last two games while dealing with right knee inflammation, but he's ready to go after the brief break. He'll bat fifth and play right field, pushing Jose Azocar back to the bench.
