Last week, I marveled at the energy that Jake Meyers had brought to the Houston Astros‘ big league squad after his recent promotion from Triple-A Sugar Land. With another week in the books, it is not just energy that Jake is bringing to the table anymore.

Filling in for Kyle Tucker, who fell to the IL due to health and safety protocols, Jake Meyers is suddenly on an offensive tear. Since August 14th, the right-hander is slashing .341/.375/.614 with three home runs and six RBI over 32 plate appearances.
