Padres Myers Status Uncertain for Rockies Series

SAN DIEGO -- Wil Myers' tight lower back kept him out of the Padres starting lineup Saturday for their series finale against Milwaukee, though manager Andy Green called the injury "a day-to-day thing at most."

Myers was lifted for a pinch-runner in the seventh inning of Friday night's 8-6 loss to Milwaukee. He had been battling a nagging back issue since the end of Spring Training, though Myers couldn't pinpoint the precise moment the issue arose.

Myers was available to pinch-hit, but Green noted he'd prefer to avoid using him. Particularly with an off-day scheduled for Sunday, Green hoped to give Myers 48 hours off his feet.
