Astros' George Springer reportedly absent Tuesday due to test delay
Houston Astros outfielder George Springer is absent from Tuesday's workout while waiting for COVID-19 test results, reports Brian McTaggart of MLB.com.
What It Means:
The Astros continue to have problems with test delays at summer camp but it shouldn't prevent Springer from being ready for Opening Day. The 30-year-old slugger slashed .292/.383/.591 with career-highs in home runs (39) and RBI (96) over 556 plate appearances last season.
numberFire's models expect Springer to record a .279 batting average and .900 OPS this season with 13 homers, 34 RBI, and 41 runs scored over 234 plate appearances.
