According to the legendary Peter Gammons, the Houston Astros are calling up third base prospect Colin Moran, and he will be in Chicago for tonight’s game. While the local media have not confirmed this, Gammons normally has a good pulse on the Astros organization. This is surprising news following the promotion of Tony Kemp, who would be making his debut tonight.
Why would Moran be joining the team now, maybe Marwin Gonzalez injury is worse than we thought it was. He fouled the ball hard off the top of his foot this weekend and could hardly put pressure on his foot Sunday, so he was unavailable for the game.
