Padres reinstating Wil Myers and Luke Voit from the IL in surprise move

The San Diego Padres announced earlier this afternoon that they have reinstated designated hitter Luke Voit and outfielder Wil Myers from the Injured List. To make room for them, the club is sending C.J. Abrams down to Triple-A El Paso and designating Trayce Thompson for assignment.

This comes as a surprise move because Myers hadn’t yet begun a rehab assignment and Voit hadn’t recorded a hit yet at the Triple-A level while rehabbing.
