Astros' Jake Marisnick: Gets third start in a row
Marisnick will start in center field and bat ninth in the order Sunday against the Rays.
Analysis:
Marisnick's handy glovework has afforded him three straight starts in center field, but it's uncertain if the Astros are comfortable committing to him in an everyday role. He's been a zero at the plate for much of his MLB career and especially so this season, accruing a .215/.253/.346 slash line with four homers and seven steals across 219 plate appearances.
