Steady role again in center Meyers went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Friday against the White Sox.

Impact Meyers was out of the lineup in three of five games spanning Houston's series against the Royals and to start their matchup against the Tigers. However, he's now started three straight games and has gone 4-for-11 in that span. The Astros could continue to shift their outfield rotation as they seek to get their offense on track, but Meyers appears to be the preferred option in center field.

Moving to bench Monday Meyers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Though he's regarded as a strong defender in center field, Meyers' lack of production at the plate is beginning to cost him some playing time. Chas McCormick will pick up another start in center field in place of Meyers, who will hit the bench for the third time in five games while he's produced a poor .592 OPS over his 80 plate appearances on the season.

Three hits, stolen base Tuesday Meyers went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base Tuesday against the Cardinals.

Impact Meyers got a single to drop into right field in the sixth inning, driving in Jeremy Pena to open the scoring and plate Houston's first run of the game. Although Meyers is batting .289 and has six stolen bases over 16 games this season, his frequent placement in the lower part of the Astros' batting order should continue to cap his fantasy upside. The 28-year-old center fielder has no home runs and just four RBI across 51 plate appearances.

Resting Monday Meyers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Meyers will get a breather in the series opener in St. Louis after he went 8-for-30 (.267 average) with a 5:5 BB:K, two doubles, six runs, two RBI and five stolen bases while starting in each of the past eight games. Chas McCormick will fill in as the Astros' center fielder Monday, but Meyers appears to have a firm grip on an everyday role.

Nabs two steals Friday Meyers went 2-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, two stolen bases and one run scored in Friday's 14-3 win over the Angels.

Impact Meyers has hit safely in his last six games, with two multi-hit efforts in that span. All five of his steals this season have also come during this strong stretch at the plate. The outfielder is now batting .313 (10-for-32) with three RBI, five runs scored and a 5:8 BB:K. He's still searching for his first home run, but he has two doubles across 12 contests while seeing steady time in center field recently after fending off challenges from Chas McCormick and Mauricio Dubon.

Impactful performance against Twins Meyers went 1-for-2 with three walks, a double, two runs scored and two stolen bases Sunday against the Twins.

Impact Meyers has opened the season by splitting time with Chas McCormick in center field nearly exactly evenly. That has limited both players' fantasy appeal, though Meyers showcased his potential with a strong showing Sunday. He tallied his second extra-base hit of the season with a double in the fifth inning, and he then stole home on a double steal in the 10th frame to propel Houston to a win. Meyers could ultimately claim the majority of playing time in center thanks to his strong defense, though he has a career 86 wRC+, so his impact for fantasy purposes would likely remain limited primarily to stolen bases.

Impact Meyers isn't dealing with any known injury, but he's now been missing from the lineup for three straight contests and four of the last five games. Mauricio Dubon is starting in center field and batting ninth Thursday.

Sitting out again Wednesday Meyers is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's tilt against the Giants.

Impact Meyers has now been out of the lineup for two straight contests and he and Chas McCormick have split starts in center field evenly on the season with three apiece. It would not be a surprise if the two players continued to rotate in and out of the lineup at a similar clip moving forward.
