"After close to two months on the injured list, Jake Meyers might make his return to the Astros lineup as early as today. Meyers played six games during a minor league rehab assignment and then rejoined the big league team for a workout on Friday, though manager Joe Espada (speaking with the Houston Chronicle's Matt Kawahara and other reporters) didn't give any hint about when exactly Meyers might be activated from the 10-day IL."
"Ort is dealing with right elbow inflammation, and according to Espada, Ort was feeling sore in the aftermath of his most recent outing - a rough two-thirds of an inning against the Yankees that saw Ort charged with four run. There isn't yet any word on the seriousness of Ort's injury, yet given both the calendar and the caution teams usually deploy with elbow injuries, it is possible Ort's season might be in jeopardy even if his scans come back clean."
Jake Meyers completed a six-game minor league rehab assignment and rejoined the big league team for a workout, with activation timing still undecided. Meyers established himself as Houston's center fielder and moved into an everyday role in 2024. He batted .308/.369/.405 with three homers and 14 steals over his first 322 plate appearances of 2025 before a right calf strain put him on the injured list in early July. A returning Meyers would bolster the Astros amid numerous injuries. Separately, Ort is dealing with right elbow inflammation and could face a season risk depending on scans and recovery.
