Marlins' Dane Myers Out for Season With Knee Laceration After Wall Collision

Miami recalled Joey Wiemer from Triple-A to fill the outfield spot.

Overview

  • The Marlins placed Myers on the 10-day injured list with a right knee laceration, ending his season with five regular-season games remaining.
  • He was injured in the second inning Tuesday in Philadelphia when he hit the right-field wall pursuing a Max Kepler drive and was carted off.
  • Manager Clayton McCullough described the injury as a "pretty nasty" gash, and Myers later raised concerns about ballpark hazards in MLB venues.
  • Joey Wiemer was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville to bolster the outfield as Miami reshapes its late-season mix.
  • Miami won 6-5 in 11 innings to improve to 77-80 and sits four games behind the Mets for the final NL wild-card spot with five games left, needing to pass the Diamondbacks, Reds and Cardinals.
