Wade Out, Loperfido In for Astros

Houston Astros outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. lands on the injured list with a hamstring strain just days after joining the team, forcing a quick recall of Joey Loperfido from Triple-A to fill his spot. Loperfido, recovering from his own quad injury, is eager to return and bring energy to the lineup, especially from the left side of the plate. Manager Joe Espada noted Wade’s injury is likely to sideline him longer than infielder Nick Allen’s, who’s expected to return sooner. With twelve players now on the IL, the Astros remain in a win streak despite their record — and Loperfido is ready to help keep the momentum going.
