ANAHEIM -- All-Star outfielder George Springer looked good in pregame workouts, but not good enough to put Astros manager AJ Hinch at ease on Friday night.
Springer, who has been out since being scratched from Monday's lineup with a sore left quad, was left out of the starting lineup for the series opener against the Angels at Angel Stadium.
"He came out and did his running and we went a step further by hitting him some balls in the gap that he would have to cut off," Hinch said.
