Analysis:
Preston Tucker, Evan Gattis and Alex Presley will man the outfield spots Friday, as the Astros are left to scramble with Rasmus, George Springer and Jake Marisnick all out with ailments. Rasmus is dealing with a skin infection and will miss his sixth straight game Friday, making him a DL candidate if the team doesn't think he will get better in the coming days.
