Astros OF Springer (back) day-to-day
Houston Astros All-Star outfielder George Springer will miss Monday's game and is day-to-day with lower back stiffness, manager AJ Hinch said after Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Boston Red Sox.
Hinch removed Springer from Sunday's game at Fenway Park in the fifth inning.
Springer had struck out swinging three times against Chris Sale of the Red Sox. In his second at-bat, he appeared to wince after a missed swing.
On Friday night, Springer grabbed his side after a swing.
Josh Reddick moved from left field to take Springer's spot in right field, and Tony Kemp replaced Springer in the lineup to play left field.
Springer entered Sunday's game leading the league in OPS, runs scored, home runs and RBIs.
The Astros open a 10-game homestand on Monday, hosting the Chicago White Sox for four games.
