ST. LOUIS -- Danny Worth found himself in a Major League lineup on Tuesday for the first time since 2014 after the Astros purchased his contract from Triple-A Fresno. He took the roster spot of relief pitcher Luke Gregerson, who was placed on the family medical emergency list.
Worth, 30, was hitting .340 with 12 doubles, eight homers, 36 RBIs, 37 walks and a .449 on-base percentage at Fresno, including a .396 average against left-handers. This marks his first appearance on a big league roster since he played in 20 games for the Tigers in 2014.
