Astros optioned OF Jake Meyers to Triple-A Sugar Land.

Going from Meyers to Jorge Barrosa seems like a downgrade for the Astros bench, but they obviously disagree. To be fair, Meyers, usually an adequate starting center fielder or a quality fourth outfielder previously, has hit just .213/.268/.326 in 153 plate appearances this season. He’s either going to be released or non-tendered this winter.
