This makes sense

[tx 3 putt 76975]

I hope he tears it up !
 

#Astros have called up prospect David Hensley. The utility player, who has played all over the infield, is slashing .298/.420/.478 with 30 2B, 10 HR, 20 SB this season in Triple-A. #LevelUp

To be honest, I’ve never heard of this guy but he seems to fit the needs. Haven’t seen the corresponding active and 40 man roster moves. I guess they’ll wait until he gets to Atlanta and is actually activated.

Dubon to IL?

I assume so, it's the only move that makes sense.

 

ETA: Curious to see what they will do with the 40-man roster move because I don't see any current Astros being candidates for the 60-day IL who aren't already on it. Could be the end of the road for Goodrum I think but his positional versatility might keep him around.

I have a feeling we won’t see Diaz until a date that starts with a 2 in September.

hope I’m wrong, but like a hammy or quad, they aren’t going to rush him back for a groin and going to take it very slow 

This is probably best case scenario. Worst is amputation of leg or dead. Thoughts and prayers.

Please be Goodrum. I’d rather a pitcher play 2B and bat 2nd than see him in a lineup again.

I agree, he seems like the likeliest candidate outside of someone like Ronel Blanco or Jonathan Bermudez.

I thought you loved you some Goodrum (mostly teasing) last year.

Injury?

Wouldn’t be surprised if dubon is down for the season. He hit that elbow pretty damn hard, but like he said - better the elbow than the shoulder

With the big lead in AL west and #1 record, I’d risk it with a young guy over niko. Maybe catch lightening in a bottle. Hopefully he’s very fast and SMART, for postseason considerations

He has 20 SB so he's not slow

Best possible lineup with the current injury situation. 

Sucks on Gilbert. I hope he can play some winter ball.

That’s positive news for Dubon. I’m sure some of y’all are just thrilled.

I can’t believe there are people that would rather have Peña over Correa

[perfectchaos007 6643]

We left our offense in Chicago on Thursday

[WBT 20579]

Maybe get somebody on base?

[David Dennison 18860]

We definitely scored too many runs on Thursday.
