Astros' Jake Meyers: Blasts 10th homer in rare start
Meyers went 2-for-4 with one triple, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Royals.
Making only his second start since Sept. 1, it was Meyers' first multi-hit effort since Aug. 26 and his first homer since Aug. 6. With Houston currently at full health, Meyers may continue to struggle to gain at-bats as he remains buried deep on the Astros depth chart.

Astros' Jake Meyers: Losing work to Dubon
Meyers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.
On the bench for the third time in four games, Meyers looks to have moved into a fourth outfielder role for the Astros. Mauricio Dubon will stick in the starting nine for the fourth consecutive contest and may have at least temporarily usurped Meyers as the Astros' top option in center field.

Astros' Jake Meyers: Gets day off
Meyers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.
Coming off a big two-home run, six-RBI performance in Sunday's 9-7 win over the Yankees, Meyers turned in a modest follow-up effort in Tuesday's series opener at Camden Yards, going 1-for-4 with a base hit. While Mauricio Dubon will enter the lineup Wednesday at his expense, Meyers' quality defense and improved form at the plate in recent weeks has likely solidified him as the Astros' top option in center field for the time being. Since the All-Star break, Meyers has slashed .289/.333/.556 with six extra-base hits in 15 games.

Astros' Jake Meyers: Poaching work from Julks
Meyers will start in center field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Yankees.
Meyers is hitting .270 with four extra-base hits in 13 games since the All-Star break, and his improved production at the plate coupled with the fact that he's the Astros' top defender in the outfield seems to have opened up a near-everyday role for him. He'll likely continue to see steady work alongside Chas McCormick and Kyle Tucker in the outfield while Yordan Alvarez serves as Houston's primary designated hitter, which leaves no room in the regular lineup for the slumping Corey Julks.

Astros' Jake Meyers: Returns to bench after big game
Meyers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.
Despite going 3-for-3 with a double, two walks and two runs in Saturday's 17-4 win, Meyers will return to the bench while Mauricio Dubon picks up a start in center field. Prior to his outburst Saturday, Meyers slashed .152/.244/.241 over his last 30 games, so he may have more work to do before he re-emerges as a near-everyday player in the Houston outfield.
