In case you missed it, several key Astros starters were sent to the Injured List ahead of Wednesday's game due to health and safety protocol, presumably due to a positive COVID test or close contact with a positive test.
As a result, the Astros will play tonight with the likes of Alex Bregman, Yordan Alvarez, Jose Altuve, Martin Maldonado and Robel Garcia.
Three players have been recalled from the Astros Alternate Training Site in Taylor Jones, Garrett Stubbs and Abraham Toro. Two players have been selected to the Major League roster from the Astros ATS: outfielder Ronnie Dawson and infielder Alex De Goti.
Here's what GM James Click and Manager Dusty Baker said about the situation:
