Myers was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Myers has a .644 OPS across 70 plate appearances in his first look in the big leagues this season, but he has just eight at-bats in September and will now head back to Triple-A. Jorge Soler (oblique) was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Marlins' Dane Myers: Steals first big-league bag
Rotowire
Myers went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's loss to the Brewers.
Recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, the 27-year-old got the start in center field and batted eighth with Jazz Chisholm unavailable while dealing with what's thought to be a minor knee issue. Myers took advantage of the opportunity, swiping his first career base in the majors in the seventh inning as the Marlins tried to erase a 3-2 deficit. Chisholm could be back in the lineup as soon as Friday, but if he's not ready to return, Myers might get the nod again against right-hander Bryce Elder and Atlanta.

Marlins' Dane Myers: Recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Marlins recalled Myers from Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.
Myers showed a bit of promise during his last stint with the Marlins in July and will give them some much-needed outfield depth as Jorge Soler (oblique) heads to the 10-day injured list. Myers, 27, boasts a .316/.408/.500 batting line with 15 homers and 20 steals in 95 games this summer between Double-A and Triple-A.

Marlins' Dane Myers: Sent to Triple-A
Rotowire
Myers was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Myers operated as Miami's primary center fielder for most of July and had a 1.043 OPS in his first 10 games, but he'll head back to the minors since he has one hit and nine strikeouts in his past 23 at-bats. Avisail Garcia (back) was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Rotowire
Myers is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Rays.

Marlins' Dane Myers: Off to fast start
Rotowire
Myers went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Wednesday's 10-9 win over the Cardinals.
Making his first career MLB start, Myers manned center field for the full nine innings and made one of the biggest defensive plays of the night in the fourth inning when he flagged down a deep Nolan Arenado flyball at the fence to prevent a potential extra-base hit. The starting assignment came one day after Myers made his MLB debut off the bench and went 2-for-3 with two runs and an RBI. The 27-year-old converted pitcher posted a monstrous .956 OPS and stole 16 bases between Triple-A Jacksonville and Double-A Pensacola earlier this season and could have a path to steady playing time in center field with Jonathan Davis (knee) recently joining Jazz Chisholm (oblique) on the injured list, so Myers could be a name to keep an eye on in deeper leagues.

Marlins' Dane Myers: Called up Monday
Rotowire
Myers was called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
As expected, Myers will join the Marlins in Miami ahead of their four-game series with the Cardinals. The 27-year-old has produced an impressive .440 average with six homers, 21 RBI, 16 runs scored and two stolen bases over 75 at-bats in 20 games with Jacksonville since being promoted from Double-A Pensacola earlier in the season. Although he's not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Cardinals, he seems likely to make his major-league debut in the coming days. Myers will replace Jazz Chisholm (oblique) on the 26-man active roster after Chisholm was placed on the 10-day injured list.
