When a team loses six or seven of their players to injuries in a three-week span, you would normally expect some type of diminished result. Especially when they are All-Star worthy players like George Springer, Jose Altuve, and Carlos Correa. Not the Houston Astros. They just call on their deep pool of talent in the Minors, call up Stubbs, Mayfield, and Fisher and keep on winning.
The Astros have been beating playoff caliber teams, like the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago Cubs, with makeshift lineups.
