Notes
Jason Alexander makes the start for Houston as the Astros continue evaluating roster depth early in Grapefruit League play. Jeremy Peña leads off and remains on a regular workload as he builds toward World Baseball Classic participation. Several players competing for bench and utility roles, including Shay Whitcomb, Nick Allen, and C.J. Alexander, are in today’s starting nine.
