Jake Meyers News
Houston Astros outfielders Jake Meyers and Chas McCormick will both start on the bench on Wednesday against the Atlanta Braves. Mauricio Dubon is starting in center field and is hitting seventh, while Yordan Alvarez will play left field and bat second against Braves left-hander Max Fried. Yainer Diaz is the designated hitter and is batting fifth. Meyers, who is hitting .237 (9-for-38) with two home runs and seven RBI in the early going, continues to split time in center field with Dubon. The former 13th-round pick in 2017 out of Nebraska-Lincoln is more of a glove-first player to begin with, leaving him little fantasy upside in deeper leagues. Dubon is the more attractive offensive player and is hitting .282 (11-for-39) but doesn't have a homer yet in 2024.
Houston Astros outfielder Jake Meyers is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays and right-hander Jose Berrios. Chas McCormick is moving to center field and will hit seventh, while Yordan Alvarez will be in left field and hitting second. Yanier Diaz is the designated hitter and is batting in the five-hole. Meyers, the team's regular starting center fielder, has gone 3-for-12 (.250) with a home run, two RBI, a run scored and three strikeouts through the first four games of the season in 13 plate appearances. McCormick could be a nice DFS sleeper on Tuesday, as he's hitting .625 with a 1.375 OPS in eight career at-bats against Berrios. Alvarez, on the flip side, has just one hit in 10 career at-bats against Berrios, although the one hit was a solo homer.
Houston Astros centerfielder Jake Meyers was struck in the hand by a pitch Saturday during a Grapefruit League game against the Mets. The 27-year-old was sent for X-rays on his hand which on Sunday morning Meyers stated had come back clean. The righty hitter is projected to be the Astros centerfielder, although there isn't much appeal for fantasy purposes. He was able to get to double-digit home runs last season (10), but batting out of the nine-hole will give him less opportunities for production compared to other available options. He's having a mediocre spring, batting .237 (9-for-38) with two home runs, five RBI, seven runs scored, and a stolen base over 16 games.
