Jake Meyers Absent From Lineup Against Reds
1 year agoHouston Astros outfielder Jake Meyers will start Friday's game against the Cincinnati Reds on the bench. It's a good time for Meyers to take a breather, as he's gone hitless with two walks and five strikeouts in his last four games. He's also struggled so far in June, hitting .189 (7-for-37) with two doubles, a home run, three RBI and two stolen bases in 12 games played. The 26-year-old hasn't been much of an offensive force for the Astros all year, as he's slashing .236/.314/.402 with nine doubles, a triple, six home runs, 21 RBI and 22 runs scored in 56 games in his third major-league season. With Meyers resting, Chas McCormick is starting in center field and batting eighth in the lineup against Reds rookie left-hander Andrew Abbott.
