Myers went 4-for-5 with one double, two homers, five RBI and four runs scored in Saturday's 13-0 victory over Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Myers' first two home runs of the season were instrumental in this blowout victory. The veteran outfielder has been on a tear, recording seven hits over the last three games. However, the North Carolina native will need to prove that he can have sustained success. Before this game, he had only one extra-base hit the entire season.

Myers went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 8-3 loss to the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Not much went right for Cincinnati in this one, but Myers did manage to steal his first bag of the season. The veteran outfielder has had a tough start to the campaign overall, slashing .213/.315/.234 through 13 games with four runs and four RBI. He's still looking for his first homer.

Myers (back) is in the Reds' lineup for their Cactus League game against the White Sox on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Myers had to be scratched from Wednesday's lineup with lower-back stiffness, but he's back in there Friday following the off day Thursday. He's playing right field in this one and should also see time at first base and in the designated hitter spot for Cincinnati this season.

Myers was scratched from the Reds' lineup for Wednesday's Cactus League game versus the Athletics due to lower-back stiffness, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Myers' back injury is believed to be a day-to-day concern, but the Reds could provide more on his condition after the game. Alex McGarry will start at first base in Myers' stead.

Myers agreed to a one-year, $7.5 million contract with the Reds on Thursday, which includes a mutual option for 2024, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
San Diego declined Myers' $20 million club option for 2023 at the end of the season, and he'll continue his career in Cincinnati. The 32-year-old was limited to 77 games last season due to a knee injury and had a .261/.315/.398 slash line. He split most of his playing time between right field and first base last year, but he'll likely work mostly in the outfield for the Reds with Joey Votto at first base.

Myers will become a free agent after the Padres declined to exercise their club option on his contract for 2023 on Monday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
In an expected move, the Padres decided to not pick up the $20 million option they had on Myers for the upcoming season and instead let him go free onto the open market. After signing a six-year, $83 million contract with San Diego in 2017, the outfielder will likely head elsewhere this offseason. Myers battled a right knee injury in 2022, limiting him to just 77 games. Over those contests, he produced a .261 average with seven homers, 41 RBI, 29 runs and two stolen bases while striking out 30.1 percent of the time.

Myers will sit for Game 4 of the NLCS against the Phillies on Saturday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Myers started Games 1 and 3 of the series, but it will be Brandon Drury at first base in Game 4, as it was in Game 2. Myers does have a solo homer this postseason, though he has just three total hits and 12 strikeouts through nine games.

Myers is out of the lineup for Wednesday for Game 2 of the Padres' National League Championship Series matchup with the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Myers will exit the lineup for only the second time in the postseason, paving the way for Brandon Drury to pick up a start at first base. Thus far in the playoffs, Myers has gone 3-for-26 with a solo home run, one walk and 12 strikeouts.

Myers went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in a 6-2 win against the Giants on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Myers struck out in each of his first three at-bats before singling home the final run of a four-run sixth inning and tacking on a solo shot in the eighth. After sitting for nearly the entirety of San Diego's previous series with the White Sox, the 31-year-old has responded by batting 4-for-8 with two home runs and five RBI over the two contests since.

Myers went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 7-4 win against San Francisco.
EDGE Analysis
Neither team was able to score until the Padres put up seven runs in the eighth inning. Myers' 423-foot shot to center field accounted for the final three runs of the offensive outburst. This was the veteran outfielder's first start since Sept. 28, as Jose Azocar and Jurickson Profar have been starting in the outfield alongside Juan Soto of late. Myers has been limited by injuries in 2022 and has only six homers and 39 RBI along with a .260/.313/.390 slash line over 278 plate appearances.
