George Springer Won't Play Tuesday
6 years agoHouston Astros manager A.J. Hinch said that outfielder George Springer (back) will not play on Tuesday. "We feel like the weekend is very probable," Hinch said. Springer has missed the last two games due to lower back stiffness, but it appears he won't need to go on the injured list. That's great news for his fantasy owners, as Springer has been one of the best hitters in baseball this year with a slash line of .313/.396/.654 to go along with 17 home runs, 41 runs, 42 RBI and four stolen bases in 182 at-bats. Jake Marisnick is in center field and is batting ninth against White Sox starter Dylan Covey on Tuesday. While Marisnick has been swinging the bat well this year, he has a limited DFS ceiling in the nine hole.
