Bourn could be done for the season
The Astros’ lineup for Friday’s game in Pittsburgh once again didn’t include Gold Glove center fielder Michael Bourn, who’s nursing a strained side muscle. Bourn suffered the injury Sunday and hasn’t made enough progress to do any baseball-related drills.
Bourn admitted there’s a chance he might not play in the team’s final nine games of 2010.
“It’s a chance,” Bourn said. “I hope I’m able to, but at the same time I’m not going to rush it either. I’m going to play it by ear. I’m going to get up in the morning and not try to do anything strenuous.”
Here is the lineup:
CF Jason Bourgeois
SS Angel Sanchez
RF Hunter Pence
LF Carlos Lee
2B Jeff Keppinger
3B Chris Johnson
C Humberto Quintero
1B Brett Wallace
P Brett Myers
Brian McTaggart
