Zach Dezenzo of Houston Astros Placed on 10-Day Injured List Due to Left Hand Inflammation
Zach Dezenzo of the Houston Astros is on the 10-day injured list due to left hand inflammation.
What It Means
With Zach Dezenzo out, the Houston Astros need to adjust their outfield. Jose Altuve might fill in at left field, as he ranks second in depth for that position. Dezenzo's presence in 34 games this season has been noticeable, with a batting average of .245 and two home runs.
Dezenzo's recent form includes a .300 average over his last five games, which the team will miss. His absence creates opportunities for others like Mauricio Dubón, who can play multiple positions. The Astros play against the Tampa Bay Rays next, a game where lineup flexibility will be key.
