BOSTON -- The Houston Astros are starting rookie Jose Siri in center field over Chas McCormick for Game 3 of their ALCS matchup against the Boston Red Sox on Monday night.
"He can cover the ground, and he can also throw to stop you from scoring on the double from first base [and] limit triples," manager Dusty Baker said Monday afternoon. "He throws better than McCormick and [Jake] Meyers, who is not quite ready."
Siri, 26, played 21 games for the Astros this year including five starts in center.
