Recap of Injury & Quotes
Wednesday night’s 6-5 win over the Kansas City Royals was a great night for Astros fans in every aspect except for the fact that George Springer was forced to exit the game after getting plunked on his right wrist by a 95 MPH fastball thrown by Edinson Volquez. Springer actually stayed in and played center field for the top of the 6th inning, and although he was noticeably pleading for manager AJ Hinch to keep him in the game afterwards, Hinch said no can do and yanked him before his next at-bat.
