Marlins’ Dane Myers Fractures Left Ankle

By Mark Polishuk | July 14, 2024 at 5:14pm CDT

The Marlins announced that outfielder Dane Myers suffered a fracture in his left ankle on Saturday.  Myers will visit a foot specialist to determine the severity of the injury, though the good news is that surgery isn’t expected to be required.  Craig Mish of the Miami Herald (X link) writes that for now, Myers will miss roughly 6-8 weeks.  An official injured-list placement for Myers could take place at any point during the All-Star break, or at least prior to the Marlins’ first game after the break on Friday.

The injury occurred in ignominious fashion, as Myers hurt his ankle by kicking the clubhouse door in frustration on Saturday.  Myers had been ejected in the eighth inning of the Marlins’ 10-6 loss to the Reds after vehemently arguing a third strike call from home plate umpire Derek Thomas.

“I took a swipe at the door with my foot, and I didn’t think I kicked it that hard, but I fractured my foot,” Myers told MLB.com and other media.  “That’s something you have to do as a pro.  It’s the last missing piece in my game: staying level-headed and not letting the emotions take over.”

A sixth-round pick for the Tigers in the 2017 draft, Myers didn’t get a look in the big leagues until 2023, after Miami had claimed him off waivers from Detroit during the 2022-23 offseason.  Myers appeared in 22 games and hit .269/.286/.358 over 70 plate appearances last year, and was performing well with more playing time this season — a .265/.337/.422 slash line and two home runs over 95 PA in 40 games.

With the Marlins in full rebuild mode, it stands to reason that Myers would’ve continued to earn even more playing time once some more veterans were cleared off the roster.  In particular, manager Skip Schumaker said that Myers would be getting more time in center field even prior to the trade deadline since Jazz Chisholm Jr. will now be deployed more often as a second baseman.  Even with Myers now sidelined, Schumaker said the team won’t be changing its plans with Chisholm, which only adds to the speculation that Chisholm’s position change is meant as a potential showcase for trade suitors in advance of July 30 trade deadline.

    What is it with getting irate and taking it out on inanimate objects lately? Last week it was Colten Brewer, punching a wall and breaking his hand and was it Zambrano years ago who punched a water cooler, after getting lit up on the mound and the glass cooler shattered, cutting his hand up?

        Bo knows breaking bats. <—for older fans.

        And Taka Tanaka broke a bat and a whole lotta walls.

    Why do players continue to get paid for a self inflicted injury? Maybe the tantrums would decrease if time on the IL affected their paychecks.

    When Mantle kicked the water cooler many decades ago, Stengel asked him: “What did that water cooler ever do to you?”

    The Clubhouse Door should be suspended for the entire time that Myers is out due to the injury.

    Put him together with Colten Brewer( Cubs) and Brewer can walk to the fridge and get the beers and Myers can open them since Brewers hand is broken. Out of the box thinking 101.

      Dane Myers (along with Xavier Edwards) is currently one of my favorite Marlin players. The guy can flat-out hit, and he’s also a solid defender. Finally, he gets steady playing time. Then this has to happen …

    Myers will be out 6-8 weeks and may still get as many hits as Avi Garcia would’ve gotten for us if he was still here.
