Notes
Jeremy Peña returns to the leadoff spot as Houston continues to fine tune its lineup ahead of Opening Day this Thursday. Isaac Paredes slots into the heart of the order in the designated hitter role, while Jose Altuve remains a key presence in the top half. Lance McCullers Jr. makes his final exhibition start as he prepares to open the season in Houston’s rotation.
With Opening Day just days away, the Astros are using this final exhibition stretch to lock in roles and build momentum before hosting the Los Angeles Angels.
