It’s been a while since we’ve seen Springer in that familiar leadoff spot and even longer since McHugh has been on the mound for the Astros. The last time Springer was in the lineup was May 24 against the Red Sox and McHugh threw his last pitch for Houston on May 14. Sometimes it seemed like they were gone longer, but we welcome them back with open arms.
Reymin Guduan and Rogelio Armenteros have been sent back down to the Astros AAA affiliate in Round Rock to make room on the roster for Springer and McHugh.
