Moves to 60-day IL The Astros transferred Meyers (knee) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Meyers suffered a season-ending kneecap injury in mid-September, so the Astros will stash him away on the 60-day IL to free up a 40-man roster spot for Josh Hendrickson. Meyers appeared in 57 games for the Astros this year but slashed just .213/.268/.326 with three homers, 11 RBI and 15 runs scored over 153 plate appearances.

Done for year with knee injury Meyers suffered a season-ending left kneecap injury last week with Triple-A Sugar Land, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Meyers fouled a ball off his left kneecap Sept. 11 and was placed on the 7-day injured list the following day. After appearing in 100-plus regular-season games with the Astros the previous three seasons, Meyers spent the 2026 season split between the big leagues and minors. He slashed just .213/.268/.326 with three home runs, 11 RBI, 15 runs scored, one stolen base and a 10:31 BB:K across 153 plate appearances for Houston. Meyers didn't fare much better in Triple-A, posting a .231 average and .639 OPS in 143 trips to the plate.

Sent down Sunday The Astros optioned Meyers to Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday.

Impact Meyers was brought up earlier in the week when rosters expanded, though he did not end up logging an at-bat during his latest stint in the majors. The 30-year-old outfielder loses his spot on the active roster to waiver acquisition Jorge Barrosa, and at this point, Meyers does not appear long for the 40-man roster.

SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Back in big leagues The Astros recalled Meyers from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Meyers will join the Astros for the stretch run after spending the past few weeks with Sugar Land. After posting a .727 OPS in 104 regular-season games in 2025, the 30-year-old started Opening Day for the Astros this season but has scuffled to a .213/.268/.326 slash line in 54 MLB contests.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

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.

AUGUST 11 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Astros option struggling outfielder Jake Meyers to Triple-A

The Houston Astros optioned struggling outfielder Jake Meyers to Triple-A Sugar Land in one of four roster moves made before Saturday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays

JULY 4 • Associated Press

Sent down to Triple-A The Astros optioned Meyers to Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday.

Impact Meyers was losing out on playing time to both Taylor Trammell and Brice Matthews, so Matthews will head to Triple-A, where he will serve in an everyday role in the outfield. He has a .580 OPS with one steal, three home runs and 11 RBI across 148 major-league plate appearances this season.

Loses hold of everyday role Meyers is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Riding the bench for a fourth straight game, Meyers appears to lost his grip on a regular role in the Houston outfield after putting together dismal .203/.261/.317 slash line over 134 plate appearances on the season. Since Meyers was last included in the lineup Monday, Taylor Trammell and Brice Matthews have picked up two starts apiece in center field.

JUNE 26 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting again amid struggles Meyers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Houston will send Meyers to the bench for the second day in a row and for the third time in four games. Since coming off the injured list May 19, Meyers has slashed a dismal .188/.233/.294 with a 22.2 percent strikeout rate, and his lack of production appears to have resulted in him fading into more of a part-time role. Brice Matthews will pick up another start in center field at Meyers' expense.

JUNE 24 • ROTOWIRE

Out of lineup Tuesday Meyers is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Toronto.

Impact Meyers is slashing only .188/.233/.294 in 31 games since coming off the injured list in mid-May, and he's now started only four of the past eight contests. Brice Matthews will patrol center field for the Astros on Tuesday.

JUNE 23 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Sunday's lineup Meyers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact Meyers started the previous three games but will take a seat Sunday after going 1-for-19 with a walk, a double, an RBI, a run and four strikeouts during that span. Joey Loperfido is manning center field while Yordan Alvarez handles left in the series finale versus Cleveland.

JUNE 21 • ROTOWIRE

Out of lineup again Tuesday Meyers is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Meyers has been out of the lineup for consecutive games and five times over the Astros' past 12 contests. He's slashing only .220/.277/.339 over 37 contests this season. Starting in center field for the second straight day will be Brice Matthews.

JUNE 16 • ROTOWIRE

Getting break Monday Meyers is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Tigers.

Impact Meyers is slashing only .171/.237/.286 so far in June, so he'll get a day to regroup. Taylor Trammell is handling center-field duties for the Astros.

Not in Friday's lineup Meyers is not in the Astros' starting lineup against the Royals on Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Meyers will take a seat while the Astros start Joey Loperfido, Taylor Trammell and Cam Smith in the outfield from left to right. Meyers has gone 4-for-27 (.148) with two RBI over his last nine games.
