Zack Short Scratched with Rib Soreness
Houston Astros infielder Zack Short (ribs) was a late scratch for Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Short is sitting out with rib soreness resulting from a hit by pitch on Saturday. The Astros are starting Mauricio Dubon at shortstop in place of Short and plugging in Shay Whitcomb at third base. If Short has to miss more time, it would continue a brutal run of injuries for the Astros. Their lineup is down shortstop Jeremy Pena, DH/outfielder Yordan Alvarez, third baseman Isaac Paredes, and outfielder Jake Meyers, among others. The 30-year-old Short has served as good depth over a small sample size, having gone 6-for-23 with a homer, five RBI, and five runs scored since the Astros called him up on July 2.
