PHILADELPHIA -- Wil Myers played left field Monday, after spending the first week of the season -- and all of Spring Training -- at first base. Still, both Myers and manager Andy Green referred to Myers as the Padres' "full-time first baseman."
Green said Myers will see time in the outfield sporadically, typically when Brett Wallace starts at first base. To keep Myers' bat in the lineup, he'll move to left, giving Melvin Upton Jr. a day off.
"I still think of myself as a full-time first baseman," Myers said. "But I know Brett's obviously a good hitter, and we've got to get his bat in the lineup.
