Niko Goodrum sitting for Astros Sunday

The Houston Astros did not list Niko Goodrum as a starter for Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals.

What It Means:

Goodrum will take the afternoon off with Jose Altuve (leg) returning to the lineup. Altuve will play second base and bat leadoff.

Our models project Goodrum to make 303 more plate appearances this season, with 8 home runs, 35 runs, 30 RBI, 10 stolen bases, and a .210 batting average.
