Myers

Myers has been shipped back to the minors after getting crushed for four runs on 11 hits over just 3 2/3 innings on Saturday. The 26-year-old righty has struggled to a lackluster 4.95 ERA across 20 innings (six appearances, five starts) this season at the highest level.

Myers’ 71 pitches produced four missed swings and 11 hard-hit balls. He’d still be in Triple-A right now if not for the injury to Jose Quintana, but there’s a good chance he’ll wind up back there anyway after his performance tonight. He has a 4.95 ERA and a 15/10 K/BB in his 20 major league innings this season.

Myers was just sent down Sunday, but he’s able to come up earlier than usually allowed because Jose Quintana went on the injured list with a shoulder impingement. Myers will be Quintana’s replacement both on the active roster and in the rotation, and while he’s had success in the majors, Myers offers some risk because of how early he’s been pulled in the majority of his starts.

Myers returns to the minors after working beyond the fourth inning just once in five starts since making his season debut back on April 24. Milwaukee is likely getting veteran Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) back at some point next week, so they’re going to bring up some extra relief depth in the meantime. The decision leaves Chad Patrick, Quinn Priester and Jose Quintana in the rotation alongside ace Freddy Peralta.

Myers tossed three scoreless frames before giving up two runs in the fourth on a walk, two hits, and a sacrifice fly. He’s given up no more than two runs in a start but isn’t going very deep into games at this point. The 26-year-old right-hander will take a 3.86 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, and an 11/10 K/BB ratio across 16 1/3 innings into a start against the Twins in Milwaukee next Saturday.

Myers allowed six hits, but the only run came in the sixth inning on a fielder’s choice. The 26-year-old was far from dominant with just two strikeouts, but he only allowed one extra-base hit and didn’t issue a walk. Myers had plenty of starts like this in his rookie campaign, and while he doesn’t miss a ton of bats, he’s obviously tough to square up. He gets the Rays next week.

Myers walked two and threw 28-of-49 pitches for strikes. Both runs came in the second inning, as he gave up an RBI single and then hit a batter with the bases loaded; with two of those runners reaching via walk. There’s been no word of an injury just yet, but it’s worth noting that this was just his second start since returning from the injured list. Assuming good health, Myers will try and get back on track Monday against the Astros.

The 26-year-old hurler struggled with his command in this one, issuing four free passes, while striking out a pair. The Giants got him for a run in the opening inning on an RBI double by Jung Hoo Lee, then Mike Yastrzemski tagged him for a solo shot in the third inning. Myers generated seven swings and misses on 82 pitches on the afternoon, posting a CSW of 17 percent. He should be able to work deeper into the game his next time out against the White Sox on Wednesday in Chicago.

Myers will be making his season debut after missing the first month of the season with an oblique strain. The 26-year-old was very effective in his rookie campaign, and while he’s a better ‘real-life’ option than a fantasy one, he limits hard contact enough to be considered against all but the best lineups. Fantasy managers may want to wait a turn through the rotation before adding him to a lineup.

It’ll likely take place against the Giants next week. The 26-year-old said he “recovered well” from his rehab start Friday for Triple-A Nashville, and assuming no setbacks, the right-hander should be back with the Milwaukee rotation. He’s worthy of roster consideration after having a solid rookie campaign in 2024.
