Gurriel (knee) is starting at DH and batting sixth Monday against the Mariners, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Gurriel is back in action after missing five games while nursing a knee issue. The 33-year-old was able to get through Monday's workouts without any issues, clearing the way for him to rejoin the starting nine. Carlos Beltran (back) remains sidelined as Gurriel takes over as DH.
