Myers was furious after being called by plate umpire Derek Thomas for a strike on a check swing without appealing to the base umpire. The Marlins had two runners on base in the eighth inning when Myers questioned the call, got into a heated argument with Thomas and was ejected.

“I think that’s the last piece missing in my game, is trying to stay level-headed,” Myers said the day after the incident. “Staying level-headed and not letting my emotions get the best of me and losing myself like I did.”

There is no decision yet on whether Myers will return this season. Before his injury, Myers had two homers and 14 RBIs in 40 games. The 28-year-old Myers had gotten starts against lefties in a right field platoon with Jesús Sánchez, but manager Skip Schumaker had gradually started him against righties because of his production.

“He’s got to put things into perspective a little bit,” Schumaker said. “You’re very grateful and fortunate to be playing in the big leagues. It’s a learning experience for him and something he’s going to grow from. I think he’s going to be better for it.”
