Astros' Yuli Gurriel: Won't start Monday

Gurriel (finger) won't start Monday's game against the Red Sox, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Gurriel was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to left middle finger inflammation, and he'll miss a third consecutive game Monday. Manager Dusty Baker said that Gurriel is "getting close" to returning, and he's expected to return later in the series against Boston.
