During the last Talking Stros after Game 7 of the 2017 ALCS, a caller asked a question. Would Jake Marisnick return for the World Series in any type of role? That questions was answered today with the release of the Astros World Series roster, but A.J. Hinch announced this during media day yesterday. After weeks of thinking there was a chance, Marisnick was told that he would not make World Series roster according to Brian McTaggart.
When he injured his thumb on the slide into second base, it was expected that he would take 4-6 weeks to recover.
