PHILADELPHIA — Dane Myers exited Tuesday night’s series opener against the Phillies with a right knee laceration.
Myers raced toward the right-field wall on Max Kepler’s fly ball to open the second inning and appeared to catch that part of his leg awkwardly on the chain-link fence.
Myers immediately went down, as manager Clayton McCullough, a member of both the Phillies’ and Marlins’ training staffs and center fielder Jakob Marsee went to check on him when play was halted. A visibly emotional Myers was eventually carried by five people, including two medical personnel, onto a cart that was brought out onto the warning track. A towel was placed on his leg, perhaps for the laceration, as he was carted away to the cheers of the Citizens Bank Park crowd.
Last season, Myers missed two months with a left ankle fracture. This season, he landed on the IL twice with a right oblique strain.
