The Houston Astros made a shocking trade at the deadline, sending Myles Straw to Cleveland. In response, they selected Jake Meyers from Triple-A Sugar Land for the 40-man roster, while also placing him on the active roster.
Meyers has raked with the Skeeters, as he has slashed .343/.408/.598 with 16 home runs over 304 plate appearances. The 25-year-old rightfully got the call to the show for the first time on Friday, and although not in the lineup in his first day up, he throws left-handed and hits right-handed just like Chas McCormick.
