Astros 1B Yuli Gurriel (knee) out for rest of World Series

HOUSTON -- Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel was removed from the World Series roster after suffering a knee injury in the team's Game 5 win on Thursday.

Gurriel, 32, hurt his right knee during a rundown in the seventh inning, forcing him to leave the game.

Catcher Korey Lee will replace Gurriel on the roster, allowing Christian Vazquez to be the designated hitter in Game 6 on Saturday night. Houston will carry three catchers for the final two games, giving them more lineup flexibility.

They've had little production from their designated hitters so far in the series.
