Wil Myers

The Padres activated Wil Myers from the disabled list on Thursday. He is leading off against the Giants.

Myers missed nearly two months with an oblique injury, but played relatively well in his five-game rehab stint. The Padres may ease him back into action, but if you own him, you don't do so to keep him on your bench. Get him back in your starting lineup immediately.

Wil Myers will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A El Paso on Thursday. Myers has been out since the end of April with a strained left oblique.

It has been an injury-riddled season so far for Myers. He has only played in 10 games this season. Barring any setbacks during his rehab assignment, Myers could be back with the Padres by the end of June. The beginning of July is a more realistic timetable for his return though.

Wil Myers is expected to be sidelined through June, as the Padres indicated that the most likely timeframe for his return is early July.

This is, of course, assuming no further setbacks, which isn't an easy assumption given Myers' injury history. He's swinging a bat without issue at this point, but there's still not a clear timeframe for his return from his oblique injury.

Wil Myers spoke with reporters in the Padres' locker room during Monday night's game against the Marlins and expressed his hopes to resume baseball activities on Tuesday. Myers was back in San Diego after spending two weeks in Arizona to have his oblique examined by team doctors.

Fantasy Impact

If Myers is cleared for baseball activities, he could then embark on a rehab assignment in the coming weeks. However, it is still believed that Myers will need multiple weeks of rehab before returning to the Padres' lineup.

The Padres placed Wil Myers on the 10-day disabled list on Sunday with a strained left oblique. The team recalled Travis Jankowski from Triple-A.

Fantasy Impact

Myers hurt himself on a swing on Saturday, and the Padres wasted little time in putting him on the disabled list. Oblique injuries, particularly those that come from defined events like swinging a bat, often linger, so fantasy owners should expect to be without Myers for at least a few weeks.
