Meyers (calf) is in the lineup as the designated hitter Thursday for Triple-A Sugar Land after he fouled a ball off his right knee Wednesday night, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Meyers should be able to rejoin the Astros during their series against the Rangers that commences Friday. He will most likely join the team Saturday for game two of the series. The 29-year-old has slashed .200/.333/.267 across 18 plate appearances in five games during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land.

Astros general manager Dana Brown said Sunday that Meyers (calf) could return from the 10-day injured list "in another week or so," Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Meyers thus isn't in line to join the Astros when the active roster expands from 26 to 28 men Monday, but the 29-year-old could be ready for reinstatement by the second week of September if all goes smoothly during his rehab assignment. Through his first three games with Sugar Land, Meyers has gone 1-for-9 with two walks. Meyers has been on the shelf since July 11 with a right calf strain, but once he's activated, he should take over as the Astros' primary center fielder.

Manager Joe Espada said Meyers (calf) will report to Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday to begin a rehab assignment, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The outfielder landed on the shelf with a calf strain just before the All-Star break in July and is now entering the final stage of his rehab program. Depending how many games Meyers needs to get back up to speed, he could rejoin the Astros as early as this weekend versus the Angels.

EDGE Analysis
Meyers landed on the injured list July 11 but is ramping up his activity. The team plans for him to increase the volume and intensity of his work before advancing him to live at-bats. Meyers is still projected to return in August, but his activation looks likely to come later in the month.

EDGE Analysis
Meyers is rehabbing in Houston and has taken his first steps in recovery since hitting the injured list July 11. While his absence will extend beyond the minimum three-week timeline originally provided, Meyers is expected to return at some point in August.

Astros general manager Dana Brown said Sunday that he expects Meyers (calf) to be out for "at the very minimum, three-plus weeks," Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
After he initially tweaked his right calf last Sunday in a win over the Dodgers, Meyers was held out of the lineup for two days before he checked back into the starting nine in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Guardians. Though he was credited with a start, Meyers didn't end up playing after aggravating the injury while running out to center field prior to the first pitch. He's since been diagnosed with a calf strain, and the injury is apparently viewed as more than a minor tweak, given that Brown has already seemingly counted Meyers out from returning before the beginning of August at the earliest. Taylor Trammell has started in center field in each of the three games since Meyers landed on the shelf and should have a clear path to an everyday role until the banged-up Astros regain some health in the outfield. In addition to Meyers, Houston has already lost Yordan Alvarez (hand), Pedro Leon (knee), Chas McCormick (oblique), Zach Dezenzo (hand) and Jacob Melton (ankle) to the injured list.

The Astros placed Meyers on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to July 10, due to a right calf strain, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Meyers missed back-to-back games earlier this week due to right calf tightness and aggravated the injury during Wednesday's contest against Cleveland. Further testing revealed the center fielder is dealing with a strain, which will result in a stint on the injured list. While he's idle, look for Kenedy Corona and Taylor Trammell to handle most of the center field work.
