A's vs. Astros lineups: Jurickson Profar back at DH in series finale

Share

As the A's go for a four-game sweep of the Astros in Oakland, manager Bob Melvin is making one slight change to his lineup. 

Switch-hitter Jurickson Profar will replace Khris Davis to face right-handed pitcher Zack Greinke. Since the arrival of Corban Joseph, Profar hasn't started a game. 

The utility man has struggled at the plate this season, slashing .205/.268/.382, but does have 15 home runs. 

Here are how the lineups look to shape up for the Astros-A's series finale. Coverage begins at 12:30 p.m. PT on NBC Sports California with first pitch set for 1:07 p.m. You can also stream the action with the MyTeams App
