Astros Narrow Gap in ALCS with Game 3 Victory

The Houston Astros defeated the Texas Rangers 8-5 in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series, putting themselves in a position to tie the series with a win in Game 4. Jose Altuve hit a postseason homer, Martín Maldonado and Yordan Alvarez had clutch RBI hits, and Michael Brantley made a tumbling catch that may have swung the game. Astros starter Cristian Javier extended his scoreless innings streak in the postseason to 20 1/3. The Astros hope to maintain their momentum and bounce back from being down 0-2 in the series.

Astros' Game 3 comeback against Rangers defines Texas rivalry

In a bid to shake up their batting order, the Houston Astros have moved Kyle Tucker to the sixth spot and Michael Brantley to the second spot for Game 3 of the American League Championship Series (ALCS) against the Texas Rangers. Tucker has struggled in the postseason, failing to register a hit in the ALCS so far.

Michael Brantley's Struggles to Rejoin Astros Highlighted by Baker's Concerns

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley has "plateaued" in his attempt to return to the field after last year's shoulder surgery, according to manager Dusty Baker. Brantley, who re-signed with the Astros on a one-year deal, has faced multiple setbacks in his recovery and has yet to progress enough to start another rehab assignment. The Astros, who have been evasive about providing health updates, are now considering other options and may target a left-handed bat before the trade deadline. Brantley's return remains uncertain, leaving the team in need of offensive reinforcements.

Brantley, who has not played in the majors for over a year, was scheduled to participate in live batting practice but will not do so as he is not deemed ready yet. Meanwhile, pitcher José Urquidy, also recovering from shoulder soreness, is still set to face hitters in live BP. Other injury updates include shortstop Jeremy Peña's return to field activities after neck stiffness and outfielder Yordan Alvarez showing positive signs in his recovery from an oblique strain.

Astros' Yordan Alvarez to Miss Four Weeks with Oblique Strain.

Houston Astros' Yordan Alvarez is expected to miss at least four weeks of action due to an oblique strain. The team will be cautious with his return to avoid another IL stint. Michael Brantley, who is currently rehabbing from last year's shoulder surgery, could help soften the blow if he returns before Alvarez. The Astros currently rank 15th in the Majors in runs scored and home runs.

Astros shuffle lineup with Dubón and McCormick changes.

Astros outfielder Chas McCormick was held out of the starting lineup on Saturday against the Rangers after he left Friday’s game with vision issues, but said he felt better less than 24 hours later. McCormick described blurred vision in his right eye that began before the game Friday and worsened as the game went on, eventually leading the Astros to pull him midway through the third inning of their 6-2 loss. Outfielder Michael Brantley hit in another live batting practice on Friday and is still “ramping up” his workload as he works his way back from offseason shoulder surgery, Astros manager Dusty Baker said.
