Projecting the Astros Opening Day Roster 3.0

The Astros will open the 2026 season in exactly one week. At this point in most springs, there might be two or three roster spots still up for grabs, but this year’s 26-man roster feels much murkier. Here is my third and final stab at projecting who will be in uniform next week when the […]

Houston finished up their season series versus the Los Angeles Lakers late Wednesday.
