Now that the every day lineup is set, how does the bench look? First, let’s just look at that lineup as to where they get the most starts in the field:
DH - Brantley
C - Maldanado
1b - Abreu
2b - Altuve
ss - Pena
3b - Bregman
RF - Tucker
CF - Chas
LF - Alvarez
That’s a great lineup.
The Astros can only carry 13 pitchers, which means four additional non-pitchers will be added to the roster. The following players are both on the 40-man and not projected to be starters: Mauricio Dubon, Jake Meyers, Korey Lee, David Hensley, Yianer Diaz, Joe Perez, Rylan Bannon, and JJ Matijevic.
