Wil Myers Placed On COVID-19 List
4 years agoThe San Diego Padres placed outfielder Wil Myers on the COVID-19 injured list on Wednesday after he tested positive for the virus. The Padres have had five players go on the injured list in the last two days due to COVID-19 concerns, including star shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. In corresponding moves, infielder/outfielder Brian O'Grady and outfielder Patrick Kivlehan were recalled from Triple-A El Paso. Kivlehan is starting in right field and hitting seventh in the first game of a doubleheader against the Rockies on Wednesday. O'Grady has hit safely in all six games at El Paso and is batting .261 with two home runs. Kivlehan was hitting .231 with a homer in six games on the farm. There is no timetable for Myers' return.
