• Marlins' Dane Myers: Launches first spring homer

  Rotowire Mar 18, 2025

  Myers went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets. The 29-year-old drove a Paul Blackburn offering over the fence the other way to right field in the third inning, giving Myers his first extra-base hit of the spring. Per Christina De Nicola of MLB.com, Myers has been tinkering with his swing mechanics in camp, and his new stance has begun to pay dividends -- two of his outs Monday had exit velocities above 98 mph. With Jesus Sanchez (side) set to begin the season on the IL, Myers should see regular playing time somewhere in the Miami outfield, but the team's exact alignment remains murky heading toward Opening Day.

• Marlins' Dane Myers: Might be Opening Day right fielder

  Rotowire Mar 15, 2025

  Myers is the most likely replacement for Jesus Sanchez (oblique) in right field, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. The 29-year-old appears to be behind Derek Hill in the spring competition for the starting center field spot, but Sanchez's injury opens up another path for Myers to get into the Opening Day lineup. Griffin Conine, who has been battling Kyle Stowers for the right-field job, is another possibility, but Myers' defense might give him the edge. After going 1-for-3 in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox, Myers is batting .304 (7-for-23) this spring with zero extra-base hits and a 7:9 BB:K.

• Marlins' Dane Myers: Falling behind in CF battle

  Rotowire Mar 12, 2025

  Myers appears to be behind Derek Hill in the competition for the Marlins' starting job in center field, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. Hill has the more reliable glove in center, so Myers needed to be the clearly better hitter in camp to seize the job. That hasn't happened, and while the 29-year-old does boast a .300 batting average with a 7:7 BB:K through 27 plate appearances, all six of his hits have been singles. It's possible neither player emerges as the full-time starter, as Jesus Sanchez has been getting reps in center field as well and manager Clayton McCullough has said the club will look for opportunities to get Kyle Stowers and Griffin Conine into the lineup. If Myers isn't the primary option in center, there should be a role for him on the bench given his ability to back up all three outfield spots.

• Marlins' Dane Myers: Will compete for CF job

  Rotowire Feb 5, 2025

  Myers is expected to compete with Derek Hill for the Marlins' starting job in center field, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. Both players hit from the right side, so a traditional platoon isn't on the table, but some sort of timeshare might be the most likely outcome of the spring job battle. Myers has a career .265/.315/.407 slash line in the majors with four homers and five steals over 178 plate appearances and might offer more offense than Hill, but he has less experience at the position and saw more action in right field than center in 2024. Victor Mesa, 23, who once had some prospect cache in the Marlins' system and showed signs of improvement at Triple-A last year, is out of minor-league options and could also push his way into the competition with a strong spring.

• Marlins' Dane Myers: Homers, drives in five in win

  Rotowire Sep 28, 2024

  Myers went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and five RBI in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Blue Jays. Myers doubled home two runs in the sixth inning and then broke the game open with a three-run homer in the eighth. The long ball was the 28-year-old's first since July 6, as he missed over two months with a fractured left ankle. On the year, he's batting .264 with three home runs, 19 RBI, 17 runs scored and four steals across just 104 plate appearances with the Marlins.

• Marlins' Dane Myers: Likely to be activated Tuesday

  Rotowire Sep 23, 2024

  The Marlins are expected to activate Myers (ankle) from the 60-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Twins, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports. Myers has been on the shelf since July 13 while recovering from a fractured left ankle, but he's ready to rejoin the big club for the final week of the season after going 4-for-12 with two home runs and two walks over four rehab games with Triple-A Jacksonville. The 28-year-old could be a candidate to occupy the short side of a platoon with one of the Marlins' three left-handed-hitting everyday outfielders (Kyle Stowers, Jesus Sanchez and Griffin Conine).

• Marlins' Dane Myers: Ready for live BP

  Rotowire Sep 17, 2024

  Myers (ankle) is scheduled to advance his running progression and take live batting practice this week, MLB.com reports. On the shelf since July 14 after he fractured his left ankle when he kicked a clubhouse door following his ejection from a game a day earlier, Myers looks to be gearing up for a return from the 60-day injured list at some point during the final week of the season. When healthy this season, Myers has typically been used in the short side of a platoon in the Miami outfield. He logged 95 plate appearances prior to landing on the IL and slashed .265/.337/.422 with two home runs and four stolen bases.

• Marlins' Dane Myers: Sitting against lefty Sunday

  Rotowire Jul 14, 2024

  Myers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds. Myers looked to be moving into a full-time role last week, but he now finds himself on the bench for the fourth time in six contests. The right-handed-hitting Myers had previously occupied the short side of a platoon in right field with the lefty-hitting Jesus Sanchez, but the Marlins will keep Sanchez in the lineup over Myers while southpaw Nick Lodolo takes the hill for the Reds on Sunday.

• Marlins' Dane Myers: Sitting Thursday

  Rotowire Jul 11, 2024

  Myers isn't in the Marlins' lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros. Myers will get a breather Thursday after going 6-for-14 with a homer and three RBI over his last five games. While he rests, Bryan De La Cruz, Nick Gordon and Jesus Sanchez will start across Miami's outfield.

• Marlins' Dane Myers: Taking seat Tuesday

  Rotowire Jul 9, 2024

• Marlins' Dane Myers: Shines in win

  Rotowire Jul 7, 2024

  Myers went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Saturday's 4-3 win over the White Sox. Myers' third-inning RBI single got the Marlins on the board, and his two-run homer in the seventh put them ahead for good. Myers is 6-for-11 with four extra-base hits over his last three contests. He's up to a .268/.333/.451 slash line with two homers, 14 RBI, 14 runs scored and three stolen bases through 81 plate appearances. He doesn't have a full-time place in the lineup yet, but he's pushing for more playing time in right field over Jesus Sanchez.

• Marlins' Dane Myers: Contributes in Friday's start

  Rotowire Jul 6, 2024

  Myers went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 3-2 loss to the White Sox. Seeing his first action in July, Myers chased Drew Thorpe from the game with a seventh-inning double before scoring the Marlins' first run of the night. The 28-year-old outfielder is beginning to see his playing time tick up, and he's taking advantage -- Myers has started three of the last eight games while also coming off the bench in a fourth, going 4-for-12 (.333) during that brief stretch with three of his five doubles and two of his three steals on the season. With Miami desperate for offense, manager Skip Schumaker could write Myers' name on the lineup card more frequently heading into the All-Star break.

• Marlins' Dane Myers: Swats second career homer

  Rotowire May 20, 2024

  Myers went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Mets. Myers tagged Sean Manaea for a two-run homer in the second inning, marking Myers' first homer of 2024 and just the second long ball of his career. Since being called up April 28, Myers is slashing .269/.367/.462 with 12 strikeouts in 30 plate appearances.

• Marlins' Dane Myers: Bangs out triple in 2024 debut

  Rotowire Apr 29, 2024

  Myers went 1-for-3 with a triple and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Nationals. Getting the start in right field and batting seventh in his season debut with the Marlins, Myers ripped a three-bagger off Patrick Corbin in the first inning and came around to score on Vidal Brujan's own triple in the very next at-bat. While he's in the majors, Myers will likely be deployed primarily against southpaws behind Miami's outfield trio of Jazz Chisholm, Jesus Sanchez and Nick Gordon, all of whom hit left-handed. If he gets hot at the plate though, the offense-starved Marlins could give Myers more playing time than expected.

• Marlins' Dane Myers: Called up Sunday

  Rotowire Apr 28, 2024

  The Marlins recalled Myers from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday. The 28-year-old was unable to earn a place on Miami's Opening Day roster but will join the big club a month into the season. Myers had a poor start to the campaign at Jacksonville with a .659 OPS and 31.8 percent strikeout rate in 25 games.

• Marlins' Dane Myers: Returns to minors

  Rotowire Sep 17, 2023

  Myers was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. Myers has a .644 OPS across 70 plate appearances in his first look in the big leagues this season, but he has just eight at-bats in September and will now head back to Triple-A. Jorge Soler (oblique) was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move.

• Marlins' Dane Myers: Steals first big-league bag

  Rotowire Sep 15, 2023

  Myers went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's loss to the Brewers. Recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, the 27-year-old got the start in center field and batted eighth with Jazz Chisholm unavailable while dealing with what's thought to be a minor knee issue. Myers took advantage of the opportunity, swiping his first career base in the majors in the seventh inning as the Marlins tried to erase a 3-2 deficit. Chisholm could be back in the lineup as soon as Friday, but if he's not ready to return, Myers might get the nod again against right-hander Bryce Elder and Atlanta.

• Marlins' Dane Myers: Sent to Triple-A

  Rotowire Jul 30, 2023

  Myers was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. Myers operated as Miami's primary center fielder for most of July and had a 1.043 OPS in his first 10 games, but he'll head back to the minors since he has one hit and nine strikeouts in his past 23 at-bats. Avisail Garcia (back) was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move.

• Marlins' Dane Myers: Sitting amid slump

  Rotowire Jul 25, 2023

  Myers is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Rays. Myers got off to a nice start upon his initial promotion to the Marlins in early July, but he's gone 0-for-16 with six strikeouts and zero walks over his last four games. Jon Berti, Jesus Sanchez and Bryan De La Cruz will start across the outfield Tuesday.

• Marlins' Dane Myers: Off to fast start

  Rotowire Jul 6, 2023

  Myers went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Wednesday's 10-9 win over the Cardinals. Making his first career MLB start, Myers manned center field for the full nine innings and made one of the biggest defensive plays of the night in the fourth inning when he flagged down a deep Nolan Arenado flyball at the fence to prevent a potential extra-base hit. The starting assignment came one day after Myers made his MLB debut off the bench and went 2-for-3 with two runs and an RBI. The 27-year-old converted pitcher posted a monstrous .956 OPS and stole 16 bases between Triple-A Jacksonville and Double-A Pensacola earlier this season and could have a path to steady playing time in center field with Jonathan Davis (knee) recently joining Jazz Chisholm (oblique) on the injured list, so Myers could be a name to keep an eye on in deeper leagues.
