The Miami Marlins have placed outfielder Dane Myers (ankle) on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to July 15 with a left ankle fracture. The outfielder was producing solid numbers in limited action this season with a .265 batting average to go along with 2 homers, 14 RBI and four stolen bases in 83 at-bats and would have been in line for some extended play with the Marlins being sellers at the upcoming trade deadline. The injury will likely sideline Myers for a good chunk of the second half and he can safely remain on the waiver wire. No corresponding move has been made to replace Myers on the active roster as of now.
Miami Marlins outfielder Dane Myers has been hitting the cover off the ball since being called up. The 28-year-old is 5-for-11 with five RBI and a stolen base during his limited action with the team. Given the Marlins woes on offense, manager Skip Schumaker has moved Myers up in the batting order. He'll bat cleanup and serve as the right fielder during Friday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Fantasy managers in deep leagues should keep an eye on Myers going forward.
