2026 Fantasy Outlook
Myers was limited to 106 games due to two IL stints for a strained right oblique, then missed the final week after cutting his knee while running into a chain-link outfield fence. As has been true throughout his career, he was far more effective against left-handed pitching, posting a .778 OPS compared to a .532 mark versus righties. Overall production dipped from the previous season, despite a 10-point improvement in his strikeout rate and an uptick in exit velocity. His expected batting average was higher than the year before, while his expected slugging percentage was nearly identical. Defense remains Myers' main asset, highlighted by 97th-percentile arm strength. As the Marlins reshape their outfield, Myers projects as a defensive replacement or right-handed platoon option. That role limits his mixed-league appeal, though he can still provide value in NL-only formats if his defense keeps him in the lineup. Read Past Outlooks

Knocks in game-winning run
OFCincinnati Reds
April 19, 2026
Myers went 1-for-1 with an RBI and was hit by a pitch in Saturday's 5-4 win over Minnesota.
Analysis
Myers delivered the go-ahead and game-winning run in the top of the ninth inning after entering the contest as a pinch hitter. It was the second time he's delivered a game-deciding run off the bench. Myers has mainly served as a pinch hitter or late-game defensive replacement for the Reds. He's 7-for-26 (.269) with a stolen base, two RBI and two runs scored over 19 games played (four starts).

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
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.
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.
