Trey Mancini taking seat for Astros in ALCS Game 1
Houston Astros outfielder Trey Mancini is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday in Game 1 of the ALCS against right-hander Jameson Taillon and the New York Yankees.
The Astros continue to alternate starts between Mancini and Aledmys Diaz as the designated hitter in the playoffs. They are a combined 1-for-13 through three postseason contests.
Taillon's SIERA (3.85) and strikeout rate (20.7%) from the regular season are both the worst out of Wednesday's projected starters. He also allowed a 39.3% fly-ball rate and yielded 1.66 taters per nine innings on the road.
