Astros recalled OF Jake Meyers from Triple-A Sugar Land.

He’ll take the place of Zach Dezenzo on the club’s active roster after Dezenzo was optioned to Triple-A on Thursday. Meyers, 30, has hit just .206/.264/.316 with three homers, 11 RBI and one stolen base in 148 plate appearances with the Astros this season.

Astros optioned OF Zach Dezenzo to Triple-A Sugar Land.

He’ll take the Metro to southwest Houston. Dezenzo received 31 plate appearances in his month of action on the roster and hit .250/.323/.250 with one stolen base. It sounds like Jake Meyers will be ready to be activated soon.

Astros optioned OF Jake Meyers to Triple-A Sugar Land.

Meyers has basically been usurped by Taylor Trammell as Houston’s primary center fielder over the last few weeks. The 30-year-old has been shipped to the minors after hitting just .206/.264/.316 with three homers and one steal across 148 plate appearances in 52 games. He’s not special enough as a defender to justify being a complete non-factor at the plate.

Jake Meyers is starting in center field and batting eighth against the Tigers on Wednesday

Meyers has been on the bench for the last two days as Brice Matthews has started four straight games for the Astros, but Matthews will head to the bench on Wednesday. Since June 1st, Meyers is hitting .189/.250/.297 in 40 plate appearances, which has opened the door for Matthews to take more playing time. Neither one of them has been a great fantasy option, but Matthews does have more power and speed upside.

Meyers is back in center field and hitting seventh on Tuesday against the Twins after missing more than five weeks with a right oblique strain. The 29-year-old outfielder was hitting .243/.326/.378 with one homer and one steal in 12 games prior to hitting the injured list on April 9.

Jake Meyers (oblique) on Tuesday in a minor league rehab game for Double-A Corpus Christi.

Meyers played the entire game in center field as he kicked off a rehab assignment in the upper minors. The 29-year-old center fielder is working his way back from a hamstring strain that sent him to the injured list back in early April.

Astros placed OF Jake Meyers on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to April 9, with a Grade 1 right oblique strain.

The Astros initially thought that Meyers was dealing with a back issue, but it turns out that it’s the dreaded oblique instead. He’ll need at least a couple of weeks on the shelf before he’s able to return to live game action. Taylor Trammell was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land in a corresponding move on Friday.

Jake Meyers will undergo an MRI after exiting Wednesday’s game against the Rockies with lower back tightness.

It sounds like a trip to the injured list is on the table for Meyers after dealing with a back issue during spring training. There should be a definitive update on his status at some point in the near future. An extended absence would pave the way for Joey Loperfido in center field with Brice Matthews seeing more time in left field.
