I just assume there's some sort of roster/payroll shenanigans going on somewhere up or down the line.

Well for Drayton you could chalk most injuries up to old age.

So if Yordan doesn't even DH tomorrow and we have an off day Thursday he'll have what one live game in a week? He's gonna need another rehab assignment lol something stinks

Is he still on the IL? So he won't even be available as a pinch hitter if so.

I think the Dodgers knew he was injury prone when they dealt him. They just didn't know how great he would be when healthy.

Jose Altuve said he’s ready to return. He does not want to go on a minor league rehab assignment. Asked if he could be in the lineup tomorrow, he said that is Dusty Baker’s call.

So to recap. We have a GM and a room full of AGMs and nerds.

And Dusty is making all the calls on lineups and who comes back and when they come back.

I love Altuve.

I grew up with Biggio as my favorite Astro, but man, I'm pretty sure Altuve has taken over that role.

Dude loves ball and wants to go grind. You can tell he's sick and tired of being in the dugout. I can just feel him chomping at the bit.

What? They didn't have him long enough to even know that and we had to inform them WHICH Alvarez because they were confused. Yeah, they were totally unloading damaged goods.

When they won't even activate Yordan days after his rehab assignment, I'm confused whether Altuve saying this has any pull.

Well....I will be less upset if they get em both back the same night Framber takes the mound, especially if it is with a chance to tie the division up

True, but not all shakeups are good. Dubon-Peña is as rough a 1-2 as last night's was a 7-8-9. Dusty operates on a lineup philosophy that defies all data and the modern logic of the game.

Bochy already has Adolis back in the lineup. If it was Dusty he'd be sitting for at least 2 more games. I'm so sick of Donkey's bull*****

If I'm going to have Pena in the 2-hole, I'm super tempted to lead Bregman off.

Astros GM Dana Brown said it looks “very promising” for Jose Altuve and Yordan Alvarez to be in tomorrow’s lineup.

maybe Dana is the only person in the organization who understands why the games vs. the Rangers are so important

Astros GM Dana Brown also said starting pitching and relief pitching are atop of the team’s trade wishlist, with left-handed bat still a need.
