What players the Astros are most likely to field in the postseason.
Yordan Alvarez will mostly DH in the postseason, but we could see him in left field as well.The Astros wrapped up their final road trip of the season in Baltimore over the weekend with a two-game split against the feisty Orioles after sweeping the Rays in Tampa. With just eight games left, the Astros magic number for clinching home field advantage in the American League is down to two. They have virtually no chance of catching the Dodgers for the best record in baseball.
Relievers : Ryan Pressly, Ryne Stanek, Bryan Abreu, Rafael Montero, Hector Neris, Phil Maton, Will Smith No telling how manager Dusty Baker will handle the catching duties, but Maldonado is likely to get the bulk of the work here. We'll see Christian Vasquez in specific roles as DH or pinch hitter.Diaz is swinging the hottest bat and likely gets the nod as a starter in the outfield or DH if Alvarez gets time out there.Dubon could be a late-inning replacement, but Vasquez and Mancini will be counted on plenty for their bats in both pinch hitting duty and DH.
