Astros' Jake Meyers: Collects three hits in loss
Meyers went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's loss to the Brewers.
Meyers was the only Astro with multiple hits in the contest, and his fifth-inning solo homer plated one of the team's two runs. The outfielder has gone deep in back-to-back games and has gone 6-for-10 with four RBI over his past three contests. Meyers hit a career-high 10 long balls last season and is already halfway to that mark with five homers through 102 plate appearances this year.

Meyers went 3-for-3 with three RBI in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Tigers.
Meyers entered the game as a pinch hitter for Trey Cabbage in the top of the seventh inning, notching an RBI single. He proceeded to add two more RBI base knocks in the eighth and ninth frames, making the most of his three at-bats in the contest. The outfielder is now batting .360 with two triples, a double, four RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base over 25 at-bats in May.

Astros' Jake Meyers: Goes to bench for series finale
Meyers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.
Meyers had started in center field in four of the Astros' past five games while recording four hits in 16 at-bats during that stretch. He seems to be the Astros' preferred option in center field for the time being, but he'll give way to rookie Joey Loperfido in the series finale.

Astros' Jake Meyers: Two straight starts
Meyers went 2-for-4 with a triple and an RBI on Wednesday against the Yankees.
Meyers had emerged as one of the primary playing-time losers as a result of Joey Loperfido's promotion. However, Loperfido has sat in each of Houston's last two games, and Meyers has delivered on the opportunity to start those contests by going a combined 3-for-8. Meyers is still likely to lose out in the long term, but the Astros may continue to give him run as Lopefido finds his footing in the big leagues.

Astros' Jake Meyers: Sitting in third straight
Meyers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies in Mexico City, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Meyers will take a seat for the third game in a row, with two absences coming against right-handed pitching and one coming versus a lefty. Mauricio Dubon has been swinging a hotter bat of late and will get another start at Meyers' expense, though it's unclear if Dubon has permanently leapfrogged Meyers on the depth chart in center field.

Astros' Jake Meyers: Blasts third homer
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
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 in favor of Dubon
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
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: Moves to bench Thursday
Meyers is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Meyers will hit the bench for the third time in four games after he went 0-for-4 and committed an error in his return to the lineup in Tuesday's 11-2 loss to the Royals. The 27-year-old hasn't offered interesting numbers from a fantasy perspective thus far with a .200 average, two home runs, four RBI and three runs across 27 plate appearances, but he's still produced at a league-average level with a 100 wRC+. Mauricio Dubon will get the nod in center field Thursday, but Meyers should still have a bit of leash as the Astros' preferred option at the position.

Astros' Jake Meyers: On bench Wednesday
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.
