Astros To Place Josh Reddick On DL, Recall Jake Marisnick

By Jeff Todd | May 23, 2018 at 10:19am CDT

The Astros will place outfielder Josh Reddick on the 10-day DL to address a leg infection, per MLB.com’s Brian McTaggart (via Twitter). Houston will recall fellow outfielder Jake Marisnick to take the open roster spot.

Reddick last appeared in a game on Sunday, so the placement can be backdated to Monday. He’ll be eligible to return on May 31st, though it’s not yet clear whether he’ll need a lengthier absence. To this point of the season, Reddick has not been as productive as he was in his first year with the ’Stros, but has still produced a quality .227/.331/.409 slash in 154 plate appearances.

In Reddick’s absence, the Astros will likely rely on a combination of players. The left-handed-hitting Tony Kemp was recalled recently, as was righty-swinging J.D. Davis, who’s a corner infielder by trade but can handle the corner outfield in a pinch. And Marwin Gonzalez remains available to appear just about anywhere on the field.

Marisnick will join that mix after wrapping up a five-game stint at Triple-A. He had struggled quite a bit in the majors early this year, striking out 41 times in 87 plate appearances. The 27-year-old seemed to shake off the rust at Fresno, where he swatted two home runs and a triple in 23 plate appearances. If he can carry the momentum with him into the majors, perhaps Marisnick will re-claim his roster spot permanently.

    .229 average is quality?

      His OBP is just slightly above average, and his slugging % isn’t horrible.

      Batting average is not a quality statistic for measuring a hitter’s success. At the very least, you need to look at their OPS

        Look at altuve and trout , votto, Blackmon guys who hit for high avg gets on base a lot and generate power. A guy who bats near the “Mendoza line” isn’t a great hitter.

          Nobodies calling anyone a great hitter. But the initial poster only looked at his batting average, and ignored the stats that showed that he has a quality batting line

          In other words, elite players are elite. Water is also wet.

          A high batting average is good. It’s also not the only measure of success.

    As good as he is as a defender is as bad as he is offensively.

    Hopefully Luhnow starts working the phones, we need another big-league bat.

    I hope they leave Tucker in AAA all year.

    This is why looking for the dh/of js a must.
    This should be Jake’s last year with this team along with Gattis McCann Gonzalaz and Kuechal

      Gattis, Gonzales, and Keuchel are free agents at year’s end.

    So far Kemp has added a nice dimension. Five RBI night last night as well.

    We need to find Jason Lane and/or Morgan Ensburg and bring them back to the line up.
