Houston Astros: Placing Yuli Gurriel at second base likely won’t work
The Houston Astros are going through a rough stretch of injuries, particularly with Jose Altuve who is now on the 10-Day DL with right knee soreness. Yuli Gurriel has been tapped as the starter at 2nd base, will it work out? Probably not.
The Houston Astros are 67-39 and still maintain a five-game lead in the AL West but the injury bug has unfortunately bit them hard. With Jose Altuve heading to the 10-Day disabled list with right knee soreness, there certainly will be some tweaking of this roster to hold things together until he’s ready to return.
