What's Happening?
Dustin Harris, an outfielder for the Houston Astros, will not be starting in Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Guardians due to a hand injury. Harris was hit in the left hand by a pitch during Tuesday's
game, which led to his removal in the fifth inning. The injury has been classified as a bruise, but Harris is experiencing enough soreness to warrant his absence from the lineup. As a result, the Astros will field an outfield consisting of Brice Matthews, Daniel Johnson, and Cam Smith for the series finale against the Guardians.
Why It's Important?
Harris's absence from the lineup could affect the Astros' performance in the series finale against the Guardians. As a player who started in the first two games of the series, his presence was integral to the team's strategy. The injury not only impacts Harris's personal statistics but also the team's overall dynamics and potential success in the game. The Astros will need to adjust their strategy and rely on other players to fill the gap left by Harris, which could influence their standing in the league.
