George Springer getting a breather for Astros on Thursday
Houston Astros outfielder George Springer is not in Thursday's lineup versus the Oakland Athletics.
What It Means:
It appears to be a maintenance day for Springer, who is currently on a five-game hitting streak and owns a .293/.367/.507 slash with 14 home runs and 41 RBI through 67 contests. Josh Reddick and Marwin Gonzalez will cover the corners in the outfield while Alex Bregman starts at third base for Houston in Thursday's series finale.
Springer is averaging 4.2 FanDuel points per game this season. numberFire's models project him to hit .284 with 20 homers, 59 RBI, 61 runs scored, and 5 steals over the rest of the year.
