The 26-man roster chosen to oppose the Seattle Mariners contains a few mild surprises
- No left-handed reliever. Will Smith was left off the roster
- Rookies David Hensley and Hunter Brown are in.
- Reliever Phil Maton is out.
The Astros went with only 12 pitchers for this 5-game series. Here is the roster:
Pitchers (12): Right-handers Bryan Abreu, Hunter Brown, Luis Garcia, Cristian Javier, Lance McCullers Jr., Rafael Montero, Héctor Neris, Ryan Pressly, Ryne Stanek, José Urquidy and Justin Verlander; left-hander Framber Valdez
Catchers (2): Martín Maldonado and Christian Vázquez
Infielders (8): Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman, Aledmys Díaz, Mauricio Dubón, Yuli Gurriel, David Hensley, Trey Mancini and Jeremy Peña
Outfielders (4): Jake Meyers, Yordan Alvarez, Chas McCormick and Kyle Tucker
Unless I missed something, nobody picked the exact correct roster in our “Pick the Astros ALDS Roster” thread.
