The Houston Astros make multiple roster adjustments before their game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday, including changes in the outfield. The team options outfielders Jake Meyers and Joey Loperfido to Triple-A Sugar Land. Both players are replaced on the Astros’ 26-man roster by Zach Dezenzo and LaMonte Wade Jr., according to reports. The move comes after recent offensive struggles by the players being sent down; Meyers goes hitless in a 3-1 loss to the Rays on Friday, a result that further contributes to his lowered batting production. Meyers is also noted as having been a Gold Glove finalist in 2024 and as the Astros’ third-longest tenured position player. Joey Loperfido is also among the outfielders being removed from the active roster. The Athletic reports the specific lineup replacements for the roster spot, while Yahoo Sports frames the changes as part of a search for a spark, describing the outfield as one area under review. The Astros’ other reported roster moves occur alongside the outfield options.
