Notes
Players’ Weekend continues as Jeremy Peña is back in the lineup after missing two games with a right hand contusion. Will his return make a difference as the Astros try to build some momentum against the Athletics? With the Rangers still just one game behind Houston in the AL West, every game matters as the Astros try to keep them at bay.
