Jake Meyers News
Houston Astros outfielder Jake Meyers is starting in center field and is batting eighth in Game 2 of the American League Division Series against the Seattle Mariners and right-hander Luis Castillo on Thursday. He'll take over for Chas McCormick, who went 1-for-2 with a run scored in the Game 1 win on Tuesday. Meyers entered the game as a pinch-runner late in the game on Tuesday and scored a run, but Thursday will be his first start of this year's postseason. The 26-year-old finished the regular season slashing .227/.269/.313 with a home run, 15 RBI, 13 runs scored and two stolen bases in 150 at-bats over 52 games played in only his second major-league season.
Houston Astros outfielder Jake Meyers (elbow) returned to the starting lineup on Monday against the Oakland Athletics after sitting out on Sunday with a bruised elbow, and he went 0-for-4 to drop his season line to .238/.293/.345 in 84 at-bats. The 26-year-old got a late start to the season but looked good initially before tailing off at the plate. He's hitting .238 (15-for-63) with a homer, 10 RBI, eight runs scored and 19 strikeouts in 18 games in the month of July. Until he starts to show some signs of life at the plate, fantasy managers in deeper leagues might want to keep him planted on their bench.
The Houston Astros reinstated outfielder Jake Meyers (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list on Friday and optioned outfielder Jose Siri to Triple-A Sugar Land in a corresponding move. Outfielder Dillon Thomas was also designated for assignment. Meyers will make his season debut on Friday in center field while batting ninth against New York Yankees right-hander Luis Severino. The 26-year-old had offseason surgery on his shoulder and hasn't played yet in 2022. He slashed .260/.323/.438 with six home runs, 28 RBI, 22 runs scored and three stolen bases in 49 games last year in his rookie season, and he's likely to fill a utility role for Houston, with occasional starts in center field.
