Exciting news for Houston Astros fans as outfielder Jake Meyers was recently added to the team’s paternity list, where he’ll be for a maximum of three days. This move led to the return of Chas McCormick to the Major League club, who was recently optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land.
For Meyers, this brief hiatus allows him to attend to personal matters, but with his impressive season stats of batting .226 with 12 home runs and 55 RBIs, Astros fans eagerly await his return. Meanwhile, McCormick has shown improvement since being sent to Sugar Land, hitting .308 with a double and an RBI in his recent 4 for 13 performance.
The Astros are currently on a hot streak, coming off a four-game sweep of the Royals and winning their last 5 games. They now head to Cincinnati for a three-game series before returning home to face the Diamondbacks. Leading the second-place Seattle Mariners by six games in the American League West, the Astros are looking strong as they push towards the playoffs.
