Player Outlook
When not chasing after the heart of Beth Truss while daring to ski the K12...wait, we're being told in the earpiece that this outlook is for Dane Myers and not Lane Meyer. Dane will be 28 before the season starts and has fewer than 100 plate appearances in a big league uniform with an unusual minor league career. He has always been old for his level, including in 2022 when he had a 20-20 season for Detroit's Double-A franchise at the age of 26. Myers was picked up by Miami in the Triple-A phase of the Rule V draft and made some swing adjustments to cut down on his strikeouts and finished with 15 homers and 20 steals between Double-A and Triple-A before a late callup. At age 28, it is now or never for Myers and he absolutely has a chance to pick up a reserve outfield spot off the bench with a great camp. He can safely be put in wait and see mode in NL-Only leagues for now.

  • Marlins' Dane Myers: Fails to make Opening Day roster

    The Marlins optioned Myers to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. Myers put up a 1.209 OPS with three homers and four steals this spring, but having minor-league options left worked against him. The 28-year-old should still see time in the majors this season.

  • Marlins' Dane Myers: Could be squeezed off roster

    Myers went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets. The 28-year-old outfielder has had a strong camp, batting .407 (11-for-27) with two homers and two steals, and Sunday's long ball came off New York's Opening Day starter Jose Quintana. Myers still isn't guaranteed a spot on the Marlins' bench, as the team has an overload of utility players like Jon Berti, Nick Gordon and Vidal Brujan who have more position flexibility, but he might be the team's best defensive option in center field among the candidates for bench jobs. Working against Myers winning a spot on the initial 26-man roster is that he has minor-league options remaining, while Gordon and Brujan do not.

  • Marlins' Dane Myers: Returns to minors

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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.

  • Marlins' Dane Myers: Called up Monday

    Myers was called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. As expected, Myers will join the Marlins in Miami ahead of their four-game series with the Cardinals. The 27-year-old has produced an impressive .440 average with six homers, 21 RBI, 16 runs scored and two stolen bases over 75 at-bats in 20 games with Jacksonville since being promoted from Double-A Pensacola earlier in the season. Although he's not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Cardinals, he seems likely to make his major-league debut in the coming days. Myers will replace Jazz Chisholm (oblique) on the 26-man active roster after Chisholm was placed on the 10-day injured list.
