Hank Conger out of Astros' lineup Monday
Houston Astros catcher Hank Conger is out of the lineup Monday as the Astros face the Oakland Athletics.
What It Means:
With Conger out, Max Stassi steps in behind the dish and will bat eighth.
With lefty Felix Doubront on the mound, it makes sense to let Conger rest his legs. Though Conger has pounded righties this year, he has struggled against lefties with a 23.1 percent hard-hit rate.
