Astros GM Dana Brown reveals recovery timeline for Jake Meyers amid injury | Sporting News Houston Astros general manager Dana Brown reveals the recovery timeline for Jake Meyers amid his calf injury.

JULY 13, 2025 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Facing three-plus-week absence Astros general manager Dana Brown said Sunday that he expects Meyers (calf) to be out for "at the very minimum, three-plus weeks," Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact After he initially tweaked his right calf last Sunday in a win over the Dodgers, Meyers was held out of the lineup for two days before he checked back into the starting nine in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Guardians. Though he was credited with a start, Meyers didn't end up playing after aggravating the injury while running out to center field prior to first pitch. He's since been diagnosed with a calf strain, and the injury is apparently viewed as more than a minor tweak, given that Brown has already seemingly counted Meyers out from returning by the end of August. Taylor Trammell has started in center field in each of the three games since Meyers landed on the shelf and should have a clear path to an everyday role until the banged-up Astros regain some health in the outfield. In addition to Meyers, Houston has already lost Yordan Alvarez (hand), Pedro Leon (knee), Chas McCormick (oblique), Zach Dezenzo (hand) and Jacob Melton (ankle) to the injured list.

Placed on IL The Astros placed Meyers on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to July 10, due to a right calf strain, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Meyers missed back-to-back games earlier this week due to right calf tightness and aggravated the injury during Wednesday's contest against Cleveland. Further testing revealed the center fielder is dealing with a strain, which will result in a stint on the injured list. While he's idle, look for Kenedy Corona and Taylor Trammel to handle most of the center field work.

Re-injures calf Meyers was pulled from Wednesday's game versus Cleveland due to right calf tightness, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact Meyers was scheduled to return Wednesday from a two-game absence caused by tightness in his right calf, but he aggravated the injury while running to center field ahead of the first pitch and had to be helped off the field. The severity of his injury remains unknown, but after suffering two injuries to the same calf in four days, the Astros could decide to place him on the injured list. Kenedy Corona and Taylor Trammell would likely see an increase in playing time if Meyers were to miss any amount of games.

Houston's Jake Meyers exits game after pregame calf injury

Houston center fielder Jake Meyers was removed from Wednesday night’s game against Cleveland during pregame warmups because of right calf tightness

JULY 10, 2025 • Associated Press

Helped off field Wednesday Meyers was removed from Wednesday's game against the Guardians with an apparent leg injury, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Meyers injured himself while running out to center field for the beginning of Wednesday's contest, and he had to rely on one of Houston's athletic trainers for support while walking off the field. The 29-year-old outfielder missed Houston's last two games while battling a calf injury, though it's currently unknown if his removal Wednesday is due to a similar issue.

Returns to Houston lineup Meyers (calf) will start in center field and bat second in Wednesday's game versus the Guardians.

Impact Meyers didn't play the last two days after tweaking his right calf Sunday versus the Dodgers. However, he is feeling well enough to give it a go Wednesday as the Astros go for the series sweep.

Remains out Tuesday Meyers (calf) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Guardians.

Impact Meyers tweaked his right calf in Sunday's win over the Dodgers and has now missed two straight starts. He's considered day-to-day, but with an off day looming Thursday, the Astros could choose to hold Meyers out at least until Friday. Taylor Trammell is handling center field and batting ninth Tuesday.

JULY 8, 2025 • Associated Press

On bench Monday due to calf injury Meyers (calf) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact After Meyers was pulled from Sunday's 5-1 win over the Dodgers in the sixth inning due to right calf tightness, Astros manager Joe Espada described the outfielder's removal as precautionary. However, Meyers' absence from the lineup Monday in addition to the Astros' decision to call up an outfielder (Kenedy Corona) from Triple-A Sugar Land perhaps suggests that the calf injury may be more of a concern than Espada was letting on. The Astros are still viewing Meyers as day-to-day, but if he's unable to return to the lineup by the series finale Wednesday, he could be at risk of landing on the injured list.
