Cam Smith, Brendan Rodgers, Jake Meyers Not In Saturday's Lineup

Houston Astros infielder Brendan Rodgers and outfielders Cam Smith and Jake Meyers are not in Saturday's lineup when the Astros conclude a three-game set against the New York Mets. As a result, Zach Dezenzo will cover right field for Smith, Mauricio Dubon will cover the keystone for Rogers, and Chas McCormick will replace Meyers in center field. Fantasy managers should expect Smith, Rogers, and Meyers to all return to the starting lineup on Monday evening when they host the San Francisco Giants. Smith has started in right field during the first two games of the campaign. Rogers has emerged as Houston's No. 1 second baseman while Jake Meyers appears to be the top option in center field. Dezenzo, Dubon, and McCormick are worth a look in DFS facing New York right-hander Griffin Canning, who held a 5.19 ERA last season.

Jake Meyers Back From Paternity List

The Houston Astros reinstated outfielder Jake Meyers from the paternity list on Thursday and also recalled reliever Nick Hernandez from Triple-A Sugar Land. In corresponding moves, the team optioned catcher Cesar Salazar and right-hander Forrest Whitley to Sugar Land. Meyers is back with the team after missing the last three games to be with his family as he welcomed a child into the world. He isn't back in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale in Cincinnati against the Reds, though, with Chas McCormick starting in center field and batting eighth against Reds rookie right-hander Rhett Lowder. Meyers should return to at least a platoon role in center field in Houston now that he's back. The 28-year-old has a .226/.290/.373 slash line on the year with a below-average .664 OPS, 12 homers, 55 RBI and nine stolen bases in 407 at-bats.

Jake Meyers Resting On Tuesday

Houston Astros outfielder Jake Meyers is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays and right-hander Jose Berrios. Chas McCormick is moving to center field and will hit seventh, while Yordan Alvarez will be in left field and hitting second. Yanier Diaz is the designated hitter and is batting in the five-hole. Meyers, the team's regular starting center fielder, has gone 3-for-12 (.250) with a home run, two RBI, a run scored and three strikeouts through the first four games of the season in 13 plate appearances. McCormick could be a nice DFS sleeper on Tuesday, as he's hitting .625 with a 1.375 OPS in eight career at-bats against Berrios. Alvarez, on the flip side, has just one hit in 10 career at-bats against Berrios, although the one hit was a solo homer.
