Myers (right arm) was reinstated from the DL at 3:09 PST and will make his fourth start of the season at 6:40 PST Friday night in Arizona. He has not played since April 2 but should be ready to roll, after hitting two home runs in his three-game rehab assignment with Single-A Lake Elsinore.

Wil Myers hopes to be activated from the disabled list on Friday. He's been out with an elbow injury.

Myers only made it through three games prior to the injury, so owners will look forward to his return. Injuries have been the concern with the outfielder, but when healthy he's been able to provide a useful mix of power and speed.

Wil Myers (nerve irritation in right arm) resumed throwing prior to Saturday’s game against the Giants and is expected to begin a rehab assignment within the next couple of days with a target of returning from the DL by the end of next week.

This is good news for fantasy owners, as it looks like Myers won't be out too much longer.

Padres placed OF Wil Myers on the 10-day disabled list with right arm nerve irritation. Myers tried to play through his troubles and there was hope he could return at some point this weekend, but instead will head to the 10-day disabled list.

There is no word on how long Myers will be out but he will be eligible to come off the disabled list next Friday. Cory Spangenberg and Hunter Renfroe should see more playing time with Myers out.

Wil Myers left Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies with what is being described as inflammation in his triceps near the elbow. He received X-rays and an ultrasound that revealed no damage, according to Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune. “It got to the point where I felt I couldn’t make a good enough throw to get the ball back in,” Myers said after the game.

Myers missed a game last season with a similar issue but said after the game that "this is worse." For now, Myers is being considered day-to-day, but a trip to the disabled list is not out of the question if his arm does not respond to rest over the next day or so. Expect him to be out of the lineup for at least the next couple of days.
