Gurriel batted second and went 0-for-4 in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Angels.

Gurriel is one of several Astros off to hot starts, having gone 9-for-18 with six walks over the first five games entering Tuesday's contest. That start got him promoted to second in the batting order, a spot Michael Brantley, who has been out since Sunday with a wrist injury, normally resides in. Brantley is due back for Thursday's home opener following an off-day Wednesday, so Gurriel should drop back to fifth or sixth in the order.
