Player Outlook
Jake Meyers was the Opening Day center fielder for the Astros last year and totaled 341 plate appearances during the regular season, chipping in 10 home runs and five stolen bases. He was dropped from the roster for the ALCS as the team welcomed veteran Michael Brantley back from injury, but Meyers is expected to get another chance as the primary center fielder for Houston to begin 2024. While he is not a high-OBP player, Meyers did well to trim his strikeout rate down to a more acceptable level last season (25.8 K%). His defense will buy his bat more time, though the clock is ticking for the 27-year-old. Meyers ranked in the 92nd percentile in terms of sprint speed last season, per Statcast, so there may be some hidden upside in the stolen base department. That said, if the bat doesn't improve, Meyers could shift into a reserve role for a team with World Series aspirations.

  • Astros' Jake Meyers: Headed for paternity leave

    Rotowire
    The Astros are expected to place Meyers on the paternity list prior to Monday's game against the Reds, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. Meyers, who went 0-for-4 in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Royals, will most likely miss the entire three-game series in Cincinnati before rejoining the Astros in Houston on Friday for the start of a three-game set with the Diamondbacks. The Astros are set to recall Chas McCormick from Triple-A Sugar Land to fill Meyers' spot on the 28-man active roster.

  • Astros' Jake Meyers: Drives in two

    Rotowire

He's struggled significantly over a larger sample, as he's hit just .211 with 15 RBI and 10 runs scored across 37 games since the All-Star break. Nevertheless, he remains locked into the starting job in center field for Houston.

  • Astros' Jake Meyers: Ends homer drought

    Rotowire
    Meyers went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run Friday against the Orioles. Meyers smacked his seventh home run of the season in the fifth inning, ending a 23-game drought without a long ball.

  • Astros' Jake Meyers: Sitting out Sunday

    Rotowire
    Meyers is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers. Meyers is hitless so far in the series, though he flashed the leather Friday with an incredible catch to rob Riley Greene of a homer. That defense will keep him in the lineup most days and afford him time to build on his nice start at the dish (.254/.315/.414). Meyers has already set a new career high with six steals and is on pace for a new career high in home runs.

  • Astros' Jake Meyers: Swipes fourth bag

    Rotowire
    Meyers went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base Sunday against the Twins. Meyers started his 17th consecutive game in center field and hit fifth Sunday -- matching his highest spot in the order of the season. He's gone 19-for-61 in that span, also tallying three homers, eight runs scored 10 RBI and two stolen bases. Meyers is on the field primarily due to his defensive play, though he's benefitted at the plate from cutting his strikeout rate to 18.7 percent in 155 plate appearances.

  • Astros' Jake Meyers: Collects three hits in loss

    Rotowire
    Meyers went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's loss to the Brewers.

The outfielder has gone deep in back-to-back games and has gone 6-for-10 with four RBI over his past three contests. Meyers hit a career-high 10 long balls last season and is already halfway to that mark with five homers through 102 plate appearances this year.

He proceeded to add two more RBI base knocks in the eighth and ninth frames, making the most of his three at-bats in the contest. The outfielder is now batting .360 with two triples, a double, four RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base over 25 at-bats in May.

  • Astros' Jake Meyers: Sitting in third straight

    Rotowire
    Meyers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies in Mexico City, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. Meyers will take a seat for the third game in a row, with two absences coming against right-handed pitching and one coming versus a lefty. Mauricio Dubon has been swinging a hotter bat of late and will get another start at Meyers' expense, though it's unclear if Dubon has permanently leapfrogged Meyers on the depth chart in center field.

  • Astros' Jake Meyers: Hits bench Thursday

    Rotowire
    Meyers is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs. Meyers had started in each of the Astros' last three games, going 1-for-8 with a solo home run. He'll get a break for Thursday's series finale in Chicago while Mauricio Dubon picks up a start in center field.

  • Astros' Jake Meyers: Losing work to Dubon

    Rotowire
    Meyers isn't in the Astros' lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. Meyers will sit down for the third consecutive game Saturday in favor of Mauricio Dubon, who is batting .319 on the year and has posted a 1.158 OPS across his last five games. Given Meyers' declining production at the plate, he may end up dropping down the depth chart if Dubon is able to continue his hot streak.
