Notes
Houston leans into lineup flexibility again, with Carlos Correa getting a look at third base while Yordan Alvarez serves as the designated hitter. Brice Matthews continues to see time in the outfield as the Astros evaluate his defensive versatility, and Nick Allen draws another start at shortstop as the club weighs its infield depth options. With Opening Day approaching, the focus remains on identifying who can handle multiple roles as roster decisions tighten.
