Ben Gamel injury

Astros outfielder Ben Gamel has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left knee contusion sustained while making a catch against the Angels. He missed two consecutive games, with manager Joe Espada indicating Gamel was 'sore' and had not recovered as expected. Jason Heyward is expected to take over left field duties during Gamel's absence. Gamel's injury occurred in the fourth inning of Saturday's game, where he collided with the right-field wall and was later replaced in the sixth inning. The Astros are also managing other lineup concerns, including a planned day off for Alex Bregman due to an elbow issue. Gamel's condition remains under observation as the team hopes for a swift recovery.
