The Astros got some good news yesterday when George Springer was only diagnosed with a thumb sprain. According to Brian McTaggart, Springer will miss about two weeks. It could have been worse, like the injury that cost Carlos Correa and Mike Trout 6-7 weeks last year. This means Springer can take a couple of weeks off and will be rested for the playoff drive. The lineup will not be the same without him.
Now that we know what’s going on with Springer, we can turn our attention to Lance McCullers.
