Jake Meyers - Page 6 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Uncertain for World Series Astros manager Dusty Baker said Sunday that Meyers' (shoulder) status remains in doubt for the World Series matchup with Atlanta, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Meyers has been tending to a left shoulder injury since crashing into the outfield wall during the Astros' Game 4 win over the White Sox in the ALDS. He was expected to make his return at some point during the Astros' matchup with the Red Sox in the ALCS, but he missed all six contests after experiencing a setback. Meyers will most likely be excluded from the World Series roster, which will be released prior to Game 1 on Tuesday.

Likely out for ALCS Astros manager Dusty Baker suggested Wednesday that Meyers experienced a setback in his recovery from a shoulder injury that will likely sideline him for the remainder of the ALCS...

Impact Meyers remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's Game 5, with Jose Siri getting the nod in center field in his stead. Since Meyers' shoulder issue is an existing concern rather than a new one, the Astros aren't able to remove him from the ALCS roster and replace him with a healthy player. Baker implied Meyers would likely be deactivated if the Astros had the ability to do so.

Ready to start Meyers (shoulder) will start Game 4 of the ALCS against the Red Sox on Tuesday, batting eighth and playing center field, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Meyers has yet to see the field during the ALCS after injuring his shoulder in the final game of the ALDS against the White Sox. He was cleared to play in Game 3 on Monday but remained on the bench. During the regular season, he hit .260/.323/.438 in 49 games in his first taste of major-league action, but his 30.7 percent strikeout rate casts doubt on the sustainability of that line.

Impact Houston cleared Meyers to play after he took part in outfield drills at Fenway Park earlier in the day, during which he familiarized himself with how balls carom off the Green Monster in what marked his first visit to the historic park. Because Meyers has been dealing with discomfort in his left shoulder for nearly a week, he's not a lock to immediately reclaim an everyday role in the outfield for the duration of Houston's postseason run.
