HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Astros are promoting first baseman Joey Loperfido from Triple-A Sugar Lan
HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Astros are promoting first baseman Joey Loperfido from Triple-A Sugar Land as they try to solve problems at the position.
The team announced Monday that Loperfido will be added to the roster before the start of Tuesday night’s series against Cleveland.
The move comes with veteran first baseman José Abreu off to a terrible start as the Astros have limped out to a 9-19 record, which is the second-worst in the American League. Abreu, who is in the second year of a three-year, $58.5 million contract, is hitting .099 with just one extra-base hit and three RBIs. In 77 plate appearances across 22 games this season, the 37-year-old has managed just seven hits.
The left-handed Loperfido will join the Astros after getting off to a terrific start in Sugar Land where he hit .287 with 13 homers and 27 RBIs in 25 games. The 13 homers lead the minor leagues and he’s tied for third with 17 extra-base hits.
