Astros mixing and matching in hopes of increasing production from first base
Just in case there’s any doubt, the starting job at first base has become somewhat of a revolving door with the Astros.
The Astros want to use the stint in Corpus to help McCullers, 21, refresh. The rookie righthander had never thrown more than 104 innings a season as a pro until this year. He has thrown 1052⁄3 innings this season between Corpus and the Astros.
