The Cincinnati Reds have sent outfielder Dane Myers on a rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League, according to Mike Petgraglia.

Myers has been on the injured list for a couple of weeks now after making a sensational catch while crashing into the wall against the Milwaukee Brewers.

The Reds acquired Myers in the offseason for Ethan O'Donnell. Myers has mostly played against left-handed pitching, but was seeing more at-bats when Blake Dunn was hurt. With Dunn and Myers both on the injured list, the Reds have called TJ Friedl back up and have also tried Spencer Steer and Matt McLain in center.

In 63 games with the Reds this season, Myers is slashing .256/.358/.385 with nine extra-base hits and five stolen bases.

With the Reds sending him to the complex during the break, it feels like there is a chance he could be ready when the Reds resume play on Friday against the Rockies.

A Bad Two Months

The Reds have struggled mightily over the last few months, dropping 10 of their last 14 games and 13 of their last 19. After starting the season 20-11 and entering May nine games over .500 and in first place in the NL Central, things have gone downhill quickly. Since May 1, the Reds are just 23-41, including a 13-24 record since the beginning of June.
