Jake Meyers

The Astros' roster crunch could force some difficult decisions, especially with Abreu possibly returning in less than a week.

Divvying up outfield playing time has been a challenge for Joe Espada. It'll only be tougher upon McCormick's return.

Meyers worked with the Astros’ mental health and performance provider throughout the offseason to become a more process-oriented player.

One veteran should think about resting a little more often and a younger player could use some more elevation in his offensive game.

The Astros brought in free agent Caratini to replace Martin Maldonado.

The two Astros outfielders have gotten used to being the subject of rumors at this time of year.

Outfielders Chas McCormick and Jake Meyers are the two likeliest candidates to step up, though neither is ideal.

One hitting meeting appears to have unlocked the hitting potential of the Astros center fielder.

With Meyers expected to miss some of next season, the Astros suddenly have a lot to consider as it pertains to their outfield plan.

How rare is it to have position player teammates who bat righty and throw lefty? Before this Astros' duo, it hadn't happened since 2000.

Meyers played well while Kyle Tucker was out with COVID-19, and now McCormick's hand injury ensures Meyers will continue to play regularly.

“He's always been the guy who just shows up later, who you just realize, 'Oh my gosh, here's Jake.' It's always been his M.O."
