Astros outfield depth is about to get a boost as Jake Meyers and Zach Dezenzo begin rehab stints at Sugar Land this week, returning from calf and left-hand injuries respectively. Meyers is set to report Wednesday after a July 6 game and an attempted return on July 9 re-aggravated the calf; Dezenzo has been out since June 1 with a left hand capsule strain. Yordan Alvarez has already been activated, paving the way for a healthier lineup as the club nears full strength.

Meyers owns a .308/.369/.405 line in 89 games and has been Houston’s everyday center fielder when healthy. The Astros’ outfield rotation—including Taylor Trammell, Chas McCormick, and rookie Jacob Melton—will increasingly hinge on ramp speed and performance as Dezenzo returns to provide power, while Luis Garcia progresses on rehab starts. Emphasize OBP, runs, and potential stolen-base pace as the lineup stabilizes.
