Zach Dezenzo was back in the Houston Astros' lineup Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays, hitting seventh and playing right field. He had been scratched Tuesday after jamming his thumb sliding into second base on his double during the seventh inning of Monday's game.

For starters, Guerrero’s advanced numbers are all sparkling. He’s in the 92nd percentile or better in expected batting average, average exit velocity, hard-hit percentage, and bat speed. He’s hitting the ball hard and often, all things that should eventually lead to more home runs.

The Houston Astros rode a first-inning uprising and a strong start by Ronel Blanco to a 5-1 win over the visiting Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night.
