LEADING OFF: Astros vs Yanks, Musgrove returns to face Phils
New York (51-18) boasts the best record in the majors, and Houston (43-25) is second to the Yankees in the AL standings. Álvarez is tied for second with 21 after launching three in a two-game sweep of the New York Mets at home. WELCOME BACKJoe Musgrove (8-0, 1.59 ERA) comes off the COVID-19 injured list to start for the San Diego Padres against Bryce Harper and the visiting Phillies. Harper returned to the lineup Wednesday at Texas after missing three games with an infected blister on his left index finger. San Diego swept a three-game series from Arizona without All-Star slugger Manny Machado, who sprained his left ankle last weekend.
