Zach Dezenzo, an exciting rookie for the Houston Astros, has been diagnosed with a "capsule sprain" in his left hand, which will keep him out of action for at least two weeks. Dezenzo felt discomfort during a recent game against the Tampa Bay Rays, leading to his exit after two at-bats and subsequent placement on the injured list. With a .245 batting average this season, Dezenzo has been a reliable option in both corner outfield positions for the Astros, making this injury a significant setback for the team.

In addition to Dezenzo's injury, the Astros will be without starter Ronel Blanco, who is set to undergo Tommy John surgery, effectively sidelining him for the remainder of the season. Blanco's absence will be felt in the Astros' pitching rotation, adding pressure on the remaining starters to step up in his absence.
