2025 Fantasy Outlook
Myers embraced the friendly environment in Erie in 2022 to put up a 20-20 season for Detroit's Double-A team. He moved onto Miami's organization and once again stole 20 bases and hit 15 homer between Double-A and Triple-A, but 2024 ended that progress. Myers hit six homers and stole eight bases in 230 plate appearances between the two levels and struck out more than three times as often as he walked. That kind of ratio would be tolerable for someone supplying home runs, but Myers is not finding the fence at the upper levels of baseball frequently enough to strike out this much. Myers has shown value on the short side of a platoon and with his defensive tools, highlighted by a strong throwing arm. That skill set will likely keep Myers on the 26-man roster as Miami continues it's perpetual rebuilding plan. Myers's fantasy value, however, is much more murky. Read Past Outlooks

Shelved with oblique strain
OFMiami Marlins
Oblique
May 12, 2025
The Marlins placed Myers on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a right oblique strain.
ANALYSIS
The severity of Myers' oblique strain won't be known until the results of his MRI are available, but he'll be out for at least the next week and a half after suffering the injury at some point over the weekend. Before getting hurt, Myers had been thriving as the Marlins' primary center fielder with a .340/.386/.528 slash line to go with three home runs and six stolen bases since mid-April. The Marlins reinstated Derek Hill (wrist) from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move, and he could end up seeing the bulk of the reps in center while Myers is on the shelf.

2024 Fantasy 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.
