• Astros' George Springer: Strikes early Monday

  19D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Springer led of Monday's game against the Mets with an opposite-field home run. That was Springer's lone hit in three at-bats and first extra-base hit in five spring outings. Springer experienced a drop in power last season, dipping to 22 home runs after belting 34 in 2017. Other than that, Springer was still a productive leadoff hitter and scored more than 100 runs for a third consecutive season. Atop one of baseball's most potent lineups, the 29-year-old outfielder should top the century mark again in 2019.

• Astros' George Springer: Gets first outfield start of spring

  27D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Springer will start in center field and lead off Monday in the Astros' Grapefruit League game against the Mets, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports. Springer served as the designated hitter in his spring debut in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Braves, going 1-for-3 with a strikeout. He'll now be on track for his first field work of the exhibition slate and will likely play only a handful of innings before heading to the bench. The 29-year-old is coming off a bit of a down season in which he posted the lowest OPS of his career (.780 OPS), but he still makes sense as an early round building block in fantasy drafts thanks to his above-average power and spot atop a potent Houston lineup.

  Springer is out of the lineup for Friday's game at Baltimore, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports. Springer will sit for the second straight game after the Astros secured the AL West title Tuesday. The 29-year-old should be available off the bench, but manager A.J. Hinch likely just wants to give his starting center fielder some additional time to rest a nagging thumb injury.
