Astros Set ALCS Roster

By Mark Polishuk | October 11, 2020 at 12:38pm CDT

The Astros officially released their 28-man roster for their ALCS matchup with the Rays.  Only one change was made from the Astros’ ALDS roster, as rookie outfielder Chas McCormick (who didn’t play in any of the four games against the Athletics) was omitted in favor of right-hander Chase De Jong.  This gives Houston an additional arm and more pitching depth over what could be a seven-game series with no off-days.

Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle notes that De Jong “is stretched out” and could thus be used to eat multiple innings out of the bullpen, if necessary.  Since De Jong only had a 14.73 ERA over 7 1/3 innings this season, however, one would imagine the Astros aren’t planning to deploy him for any critical situations.

Here is how the rest of the roster shakes out:

Right-Handed Pitchers

  • Chase DeJong
  • Luis García
  • Zack Greinke
  • Josh James
  • Cristian Javier
  • Lance McCullers, Jr. (Game 2 starter)
  • Enoli Paredes
  • Ryan Pressly
  • Andre Scrubb
  • Cy Sneed
  • José Urquidy

Left-Handed Pitchers

  • Brooks Raley
  • Blake Taylor
  • Framber Valdez (Game 1 starter)

Catchers

  • Dustin Garneau
  • Martin Maldonado
  • Garrett Stubbs

Infielders

  • José Altuve
  • Alex Bregman
  • Carlos Correa
  • Aledmys Díaz
  • Yuli Gurriel
  • Abraham Toro

Outfielders

  • Michael Brantley
  • Josh Reddick
  • George Springer
  • Myles Straw
  • Kyle Tucker

    I’d love to be wrong but the Rays are gonna win because of pitching depth.

      The schedule with no off days favors the team with the deeper pitching staff. It’ll be quite different from what the Nationals did a year ago.

      Springer and Correa take it to new levels in the playoffs, Altuve is in a good groove and Brantley always hits

      No doubt Rays have a ton more pitching depth, but this should be a great series

      Astros starters can match up fine, we just need them to go deep so the pen isn’t exposed

    Why does Houston insist on keeping Josh James on the roster? I’d have replaced him with Perez. I never want to see James throw another pitch in an Astros uniform.

      James is on the roster because of his garbage can bashing skills.

      Puhl did you get a ring? If not how do you know how it fits. You need to know jokes will be made about your team for a long time. They cheated everybody knows it. I would not be so brash about winning a championship while cheating. The worst part is they were good enough to win without cheating. You can say what you want to me I am on solid ground cheaters not so much.

    Exactly 1/4 of this roster played in the 2017 postseason.

    But still, F* everyone on this team and in the organization.
