Jake Meyers - Slump continues Meyers went 0-for-4 on Monday against the Athletics.
Impact Meyers returned from a one-game absence caused by a bruised elbow, and he continued his slide at the plate, as he now has just four hits across his last 33 at-bats and is striking out at a 31.6 percent clip over that span. Meyers had a hot stretch in late June, but he is hitting just .238/.293/.345 across 92 plate appearances on the campaign.

Chas McCormick - Slugs 10th homer McCormick went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Monday against the Athletics.
Impact McCormick took Lou Trivino yard in the ninth inning to tally his 10th homer of the season. He continues to get regular run in the absence of Michael Brantley (shoulder), and McCormick has hit particularly well in his last eight games by maintaining a .346 average with two homers, six RBI and five runs scored. If McCormick continues to perform, he could push Jake Meyers for playing time in center field once Brantley is ready to return.

Jake Odorizzi - Early exit linked to blister Astros manager Dusty Baker said after Monday's 7-5 loss to the Athletics that Odorizzi dealt with a blister on his right middle finger prior to exiting the contest, Chandler Rome o...
Impact According to Rome, Odorizzi first noticed the blister in the second inning and had the training staff pop it with a needle two innings later. The right-hander was forced to pitch through some discomfort and was ultimately lifted after giving up six earned runs over five innings en route to taking the loss. Baker said he's uncertain if the blister will affect Odorizzi's next turn through the rotation, which is tentatively set to come Sunday versus Seattle.

Jeremy Peña - Goes deep again Monday Pena went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and two total runs in a loss to the Athletics on Monday.
Impact Pena's first-inning solo homer gave Houston an early lead, but the team never led after the third frame. The rookie shortstop also homered against Seattle on Sunday, and this was the first time in his major-league career that he's gone deep in consecutive games. Pena ranks second among rookies with 15 home runs on the season, which trails Seattle's Julio Rodriguez by one.
