Brendan Rodgers Makes Astros Opening Day Roster
Houston Astros manager Joe Espada said Tuesday that second baseman Brendan Rodgers earned the final spot on the major-league roster, per the Houston Chronicle's Matt Kawahara. The 28-year-old signed a minor-league deal with the Astros this offseason and put forth a mediocre spring offensively, slashing .233/.250/.349 with no home runs and eight RBI in 44 plate appearances. Rodgers put together solid batting averages during his time with the Rockies, but he was never able to take advantage of his power potential at Coors Field. He will likely have to compete with Mauricio Dubon for playing time at second base with Jose Altuve moving to left field. Despite making the big-league roster, Rodgers is only worth a fantasy look in deep leagues at this time.
