Astros GM Jeff Luhnow provided some updates on injured players George Springer and Aaron Sanchez. Springer, who crashed into the outfield wall on Tuesday in Milwaukee, was diagnosed with a mild concussion. Sanchez is set to have shoulder surgery and is done for the season.
This is fairly good news for Springer, as it doesn’t look like this will require a lengthy absence. He will be out for a few days at least, but the hope is for him to return early next week. The Astros can ill afford to be without him in the postseason, but it looks like he should have plenty of time to get back into a rhythm before then.
