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

Astros' Jake Meyers: Resting Monday
Rotowire
Meyers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.
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.

Astros' Jake Meyers: Nabs two steals Friday
Rotowire
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.
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.

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

The Astros and Meyers avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.3 million contract Thursday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
