HOUSTON (SportsRadio 610) - Infielder Marwin Gonzalez replacing center fielder Jake Meyers is the only change in the Astros' roster from the ALCS to World Series.
Meyers has not played since injuring his throwing arm while trying to save a run in Game 4 of the ALDS against the Chicago White Sox.
At home, under American League standards, the Astros will play Chas McCormick and Jose Siri in center field. When they go to Atlanta, under National League standards with no designated hitter, Kyle Tucker is likely to play in center field, with Yordan Alvarez in left and Michael Brantley in right.
Gonzalez having World Series experience has to somehow factor in the decision to add him to the roster. He posted a .570 OPS and .199 batting average in 276 at-bats with the Boston Red Sox and Astros this season.
Gonzalez is most famous for homering off Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen to tie Game 2 of the World Series.
