George Springer Starting, Jose Altuve Out Of Lineup
4 years agoHouston Astros outfielder George Springer (wrist) will return to the leadoff spot in Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Springer suffered a wrist injury last Thursday and was held out of the starting lineup until now, though he did make an appearance as a pinch runner on Tuesday. While Springer returns to the lineup, second baseman Jose Altuve will be getting a routine day off. Altuve had been the team's primary leadoff hitter with Springer out. It's been a rough year so far for Altuve, who is slashing just .187/.265/.333, but hopefully a day off can help get him back in gear.
