Wil Myers Activated, Franmil Reyes Sent To Triple-A El Paso
6 years agoSan Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (oblique) will be activated from the disabled list on Thursday. In a corresponding move, outfielder Franmil Reyes will be optioned to Triple-A El Paso. The Padres sent Reyes and his power potential down instead of one of their more veteran outfielders. Fantasy owners have to be breathing a sigh of relief with the return of Myers, who played to a .300 batting average during his rehab time at El Paso. If he gets slotted into the starting lineup on Thursday, Myers will face Madison Bumgarner and the San Francisco Giants. Myers has batted an abysmal .143 in his career against MadBum, but the 27-year-old's return and his power potential might make him too enticing to bench.
