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

Going from Meyers to Jorge Barrosa seems like a downgrade for the Astros bench, but they obviously disagree. To be fair, Meyers, usually an adequate starting center fielder or a quality fourth outfielder previously, has hit just .213/.268/.326 in 153 plate appearances this season. He’s either going to be released or non-tendered this winter.

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

Meyers is back with Houston in a bench role as one of their September call-ups. The 30-year-old is unlikely to play very much with Dalton Varsho, Cam Smith, Taylor Trammell and Nelson Velázquez ahead of him on the depth chart.

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.
