SEATTLE -- Astros outfielder George Springer remains available to play while dealing with a sore left quadriceps muscle, though he wasn't in the starting lineup for the third game in a row Wednesday against the Mariners.
"I know we're all frustrated and he's frustrated that he's not going to play today," Astros manager AJ Hinch said. "He ran really hard [Wednesday]. He told me and the trainers told me he could probably play at a reduced level, whether that's 90 percent, 80 percent or whatever. The recommendation is to give him another day, and we have the day off [Thursday], and we'll aim for Friday.
