Jake Marisnick starting for Houston in Game 5

Houston Astros outfielder Jake Marisnick is starting on Thursday in Game 5 of the American League Divisional Series against the Boston Red Sox.

What It Means:

Marisnick will take over for George Springer in center field, who will slide over to right field to replace Josh Reddick. Marisnick will hit ninth in the order against Red Sox starter David Price.

Used primarily as a defensive replacement thus far, Marisnick is just 0-1 in the 2018 Postseason.
