The Astros will put a shuffled lineup up against the Mariners on Saturday, the team announced.
Right fielder George Springer will return to the leadoff role after teammate Jose Altuve, who hit leadoff in Friday's game, hurt his hamstring. Rookie shortstop Carlos Correa will bat second, despite not hitting any higher than fifth in the lineup since being called up to the majors.
Jake Marisnik will make his first start in left field, giving Preston Tucker a day off. He will bat sixth in the lineup.
First baseman Chris Carter, who hit a home run out of the ninth spot on Friday, will bat in the cleanup spot on Saturday.
Marwin Gonzalez will fill Altuve's void at second base and bat eighth.
