Astros Put Jake Meyers on 10-Day IL With Calf Soreness as Playoff Hopes Narrow

He would not be eligible until the Division Series' second game if Houston advances.

Overview

  • Houston recalled rookie infielder Brice Matthews to fill the open roster spot.
  • The club reinstated Lance McCullers Jr. from the 15-day IL and designated Nick Hernandez for assignment to clear a bullpen spot.
  • Houston must win its final two games in Anaheim and get two Rangers wins over the Guardians to reach the postseason.
  • It is Meyers’ second right-calf IL stint this year after a pre-All-Star strain sidelined him until Sept. 6.
  • He finished the regular season at .292/.354/.373 with three home runs, 16 steals, and strong center-field metrics.
