WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Many of the Astros' young players will take center stage this weekend when the club opens Grapefruit League play with a pair of road games, beginning with Saturday's 12:05 p.m. CT game (on Gameday Audio) against the Tigers at Lakeland, Fla. Right-hander Brad Peacock will start for Houston.
The only regular making the trip will be third baseman Alex Bregman, who's expected to be in the lineup. Shortstop Carlos Correa will play Sunday against the Braves in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., and the rest of the regulars, including second baseman Jose Altuve and outfielders George Springer, Carlos Beltran and Josh Reddick, won't play until Monday.
