Springer returned to the Astros‘ lineup last night after missing a few games due to back stiffness, only to injure his hamstring three at-bats later. A. J. Hinch said he wasn’t looking forward to the diagnosis and indicated he would probably end up on the IL.
There are already strong rumors this morning that Derek Fisher has been called up from Round Rock, Houston’s AAA affiliate. If you recall, Fisher came up for two games that were played down in Monterrey Mexico earlier in the season. He only had one at-bat in that series.
