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: Blasts third homer

    Rotowire
    Meyers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Cubs. Meyers has had a slow start to the season and lost out on playing time in center field to Mauricio Dubon as a result. However, Meyers started his second consecutive game Tuesday, and he tallied his third home run of the season and first since April 5. Meyers has just a 19 percent strikeout rate across 47 plate appearances -- down from a career rate of 28.3 percent -- so if he can regain regular playing time there is a chance his performance at the plate can turn around.

  • 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.

  • Astros' Jake Meyers: Sits again Friday

    Rotowire
    Meyers is out of the lineup for Friday's game at Washington. It's the second straight game on the bench for Meyers, who has a .584 OPS over his past 11 contests. Mauricio Dubon is starting in center field Friday and could carve out a larger share of playing time if he can continue his hot stretch at the plate.

  • Astros' Jake Meyers: Sits in favor of Dubon

    Rotowire
    Meyers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. Meyers looks to be stuck in a timeshare in center field with Mauricio Dubon, as the two have now picked up three starts apiece at the position over the last seven games, with Chas McCormick drawing the other start. Valued mainly for his defensive contributions, Meyers has chipped in at the dish with four extra-base hits (two doubles, two home runs) through 41 plate appearances, but he's getting on base at a .293 clip this season.

  • Astros' Jake Meyers: Not starting Sunday

    Rotowire
    Meyers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. Meyers went 3-for-8 with a double, a walk, three RBI and a run while starting the first two games versus Texas, but he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale. Chas McCormick (hamstring) will handle center field after missing a couple games while Yordan Alvarez mans left field.

  • Astros' Jake Meyers: Out of Monday's lineup

    Rotowire
    Meyers is not in the lineup for Monday's game at Texas, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. Meyers started the previous three games and will head to the bench after going 2-for-8 with a home run, two RBI and two runs during that stretch. Yordan Alvarez will move to the outfield while Jose Altuve rests his legs as the designated hitter.

  • Astros' Jake Meyers: On bench Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Meyers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. Despite having now been out of the lineup for two straight days and three times through the Astros' first seven games, Meyers still looks to be the team's preferred option in center field. Manager Joe Espada may just want to ensure that backup center fielder/utility man Mauricio Dubon stays fresh after having logged just six plate appearances so far this season.

  • Astros' Jake Meyers: Won't start Saturday

    Rotowire
    Meyers is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees. Meyers started in the first two games of the season, going 1-for-5 with a solo home run and a walk. Mauricio Dubon will get the start in center field Saturday and bat eighth against Yankees right-hander Marcus Stroman.

  • Astros' Jake Meyers: Set to play in exhibition

    Rotowire
    Meyers (hand) will start in center field and bat ninth Monday in an exhibition game against Astros minor-leaguers. Meyers suffered an injury scare Saturday when he was forced out of a Grapefruit League game against the Mets after being struck on the left hand by a pitch, but X-rays came back negative. After taking Sunday off to let the soreness in his hand subside, Meyers is back in action. Assuming the hand issue doesn't present too much discomfort Monday while he swings the bat and plays the field, Meyers should be locked into a spot on the Astros' Opening Day roster as the team's primary center fielder.

  • Astros' Jake Meyers: Avoids hand fracture

    Rotowire
    Astros manager Joe Espada said Sunday that X-rays on Meyers' left hand returned negative, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. It's an encouraging development after Meyers was removed from Saturday's Grapefruit League contest against the Mets after being hit by a pitch on the hand. The 27-year-old will have a couple days to recover before the Astros take on the Yankees on Thursday for Opening Day.

  • Astros' Jake Meyers: Getting X-rays on hand

    Rotowire
    Meyers will receive X-rays on his left hand Saturday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. Meyers had to leave Saturday's spring training game early after getting hit in his hand by a pitch. He stayed in the game to run the bases, which may indicate that his hand wasn't bothering him too much, but the Astros will have him go in for X-rays as a precaution. The 27-year-old outfielder was slashing .250/.372/.500 with two homers and five RBI across 43 plate appearances this spring entering Saturday's contest.

  • Astros' Jake Meyers: Exits after HBP

    Rotowire
    Meyers left Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets after taking a pitch off his left hand, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. Meyers initially remained in the game to run the bases but was replaced in center field before the Astros took the field in the bottom of the fifth inning. It's possible the 27-year-old outfielder only left the game in order to give Jacob Melton -- Meyers' replacement -- a few extra spring training reps, but his hand may be something to monitor with less than a week before Opening Day.

  • Astros' Jake Meyers: Swing tweak paying off

    Rotowire
    Meyers shifted the position of his hands on the bat this offseason, and he is hitting well this spring, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. Meyers moved his hands lower in the hopes of using the whole field more effectively after his pull rate increased the last two seasons. The tweak has been effective to this point in the spring, as he's posted a .348/.483/.739 line across 28 plate appearances. Meyers is locked into the starting center field job to begin the regular season thanks to his defense, but he'll need to maintain some effectiveness with the bat to keep the role.

  • Astros' Jake Meyers: Looking to cement center field job

    Rotowire
    Meyers has gone 2-for-6 with four walks and a double in four Grapefruit League games. Meyers is expected to be the Astros' primary center fielder to begin the season, though he's struggled to keep the job in past opportunities. He's shown good patience at the plate early on in spring, walking four times while striking out just twice. In addition, his defense in center field defense will be a significant positive factor for consistent playing time.

  • Astros' Jake Meyers: To be primary center fielder

    Rotowire
    Astros general manager Dana Brown said Tuesday that Meyers will get the bulk of playing time in center field to begin the 2024 season, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. Meyers slashed just .227/.296/.382 over 112 regular-season games in 2023 and was left off Houston's postseason roster, but Brown offered high praise for his defensive work and expressed optimism about the 27-year-old taking a step forward offensively. Chas McCormick projects to open the 2024 campaign as the Astros' primary left fielder with Meyers installed in center.

  • Astros' Jake Meyers: Absent from ALCS roster

    Rotowire
    Meyers isn't on the Astros' roster for the American League Championship Series against the Rangers, which begins Sunday night in Houston, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports. The 27-year-old outfielder hasn't seen game action since the final game of the regular season, so the Astros opted to prioritize bullpen help for the best-of-seven ALCS. Right-hander Ronel Blanco was added to the roster as Meyers' replacement.

  • Astros' Jake Meyers: Blasts 10th homer in rare start

    Rotowire
    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

    Rotowire
    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: Sitting again Friday

    Rotowire
    Meyers is out of the lineup again Friday versus the Mariners. Meyers was also on the bench in Wednesday's series finale against the Marlins and later struck out as a pinch hitter. He's slashing just .216/.273/.373 over his last 55 plate appearances dating back to July 20. Yordan Alvarez, Mauricio Dubon and Chas McCormick will start across the outfield for Houston on Friday.

  • Astros' Jake Meyers: Sitting Sunday

    Rotowire
    Meyers isn't in the Astros' lineup Sunday against the Angels, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. Meyers will get a day off Sunday after going 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored during Saturday's lopsided victory. His absence will allow Mauricio Dubon to step into the lineup and bat seventh.
