Jake Meyers - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Sent to Triple-A The Astros optioned Meyers to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Julia Morales of Space City Home Network reports.

Impact With Nelson Velazquez joining Houston, Meyers is the odd man out in the outfield mix. After hitting .292 with a .727 OPS in 2025, Meyers has appeared in 54 games with the Astros this season but has slashed an ugly .213/.268/.326 with three homers, 11 RBI, 15 runs scored, one stolen base and a 10:31 BB:K across 153 plate appearances.

Brought up from Triple-A The Astros recalled Meyers from Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact The move comes after Zach Dezenzo was optioned to Triple-A on Thursday. Meyers has been in the minors since early July, where he is slashing .243/.325/.351 with one steal, two home runs and eight RBI over 83 plate appearances. His addition gives the Astros some depth in the outfield, and he could be in the lineup against southpaws while forming a platoon in center field with the lefty-hitting Daulton Varsho.
