Spence went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and a second RBI in Saturday's 13-2 win over the Athletics.
Spence has homered four times over his last three games. The outfielder looks to be settling into a groove as he gets consistent playing time in center field. Over 18 games, he's batting .208 with a .748 OPS, four homers, 10 RBI, eight runs scored and two doubles across 58 plate appearances.

Spence went 3-for-4 with three home runs and five RBI in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Athletics.
Spence went deep in the second, seventh and ninth innings for the first three homers of his big-league career. Considering he had a modest 13 long balls over 99 games across three levels of the minors this season, this was an unexpected showing of power. Even after the homer display, he's hitting just .205 with a .718 OPS, eight RBI and seven runs scored over 49 plate appearances in the majors this season. Spence is poised to handle at least a strong-side platoon role in center field while both Daulton Varsho (wrist) and Brice Matthews (knee) are on the injured list.

The Astros recalled Spence from Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Spence will come up from Triple-A to give the Astros some extra outfield depth to close out the season while Daulton Varsho nurses a wrist injury. Spence owns just a .433 OPS through 41 plate appearances in the majors and has slashed .198/.340/.430 over 36 games since being sent down to Triple-A on Aug. 3. He'll replace Brice Matthews (knee) on the active roster.

The Astros optioned Spence to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday.
Spence had already begun to cede more starts in center field to Taylor Trammell over the past week, and the rookie's playing-time outlook would have worsened had he stuck around after the Astros acquired Daulton Varsho on Monday. The Astros have thus elected to send Spence back to Sugar Land, where he'll get the chance to play regularly. During his first taste of the big leagues, Spence slashed just .162/.244/.189 with a 36.6 percent strikeout rate over 41 plate appearances.

Spence is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.
On the bench for the fourth time in the past five games, Spence appears to have faded into a reserve role while Taylor Trammell has re-emerged as the preferred option in center field. Since receiving his first big-league call-up July 17, Spence has hit just .162 while striking out at a 36.6 percent clip. He could be headed back to Triple-A Sugar Land in the near future.

Spence is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Spence will take a seat for the first time since being called up from Triple-A Sugar Land on July 17, paving the way for Taylor Trammell to pick up a start in center field. Over his first eight big-league games, Spence has gone 5-for-28 (.179) with a 2:11 BB:K, one RBI and two runs.
