Astros Shake Up Outfield for Spark | Houston Astros News

The Astros are making bold moves to fix their struggling outfield, sending Jake Meyers and Joey Loperfido down to Triple-A while calling up Zach Dezenzo and activating LaMonte Wade Jr. Meyers, a Gold Glove finalist just two years ago, is hitting just .206 and getting minimal playing time, while Loperfido’s return from injury hasn’t sparked his bat—batting a meager .136. Manager Joe Espada admits Meyers’ past value but insists he needs to improve in the minors. Dezenzo, who previously played for the Astros, and Wade, recovering from a hamstring injury, are now in the mix to ignite the offense. With the team at 43-47 and three games behind first place, these moves signal a serious push to turn things around.
