For much of April, Wil Myers almost singlehandedly kept the San Diego Padres offense afloat. As hot as he was early, though, he’s just as cold now, going just 2-for-17 over the last seven days – leaving a gaping hole in the order.
Thankfully, NL Player of the Week Fernando Tatis Jr. has stepped up and gotten hot almost as soon as Myers went cold. Still, lineup depth is a critical piece of the puzzle if San Diego wants to make a legitimate run at the Dodgers in the NL West – so these slow stretches can prove costly.
