Astros ’ George Springer Does Minor League Rehab Assignment
Astros Double-A Report: Corpus Christi Hooks (August 24-30)
The Astros’ George Springer made his long-awaited rehab start on August 29 for Corpus Christi, after sitting on the bench for nearly two months with a cast on his arm. Springer took batting practice earlier this week in New York and Minneapolis, and then flew to Houston to prepare to play for the Hooks on Saturday.
The man who has become a spark for the first place Astros, suffered wrist fractures after being hit by a pitch in a game against Kansas City on July 2. He is close to a highly anticipated return to the Astros – not a moment too soon, as Houston heads into the September stretch with high hopes for a playoff appearance.
