Meyers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Though he's regarded as a strong defender in center field, Meyers' lack of production at the plate is beginning to cost him some playing time. Chas McCormick will pick up another start in center field in place of Meyers, who will hit the bench for the third time in five games while he's produced a poor .592 OPS over his 80 plate appearances on the season.

Meyers went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base Tuesday against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Meyers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Meyers went 1-for-2 with three walks, a double, two runs scored and two stolen bases Sunday against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Meyers is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Meyers has now been out of the lineup for two straight contests and he and Chas McCormick have split starts in center field evenly on the season with three starts apiece. It would not be a surprise if the two players continued to rotate in and out of the lineup at a similar clip moving forward.
