Scouting Report: Evan Mendoza
Houston Astros | 3B
Overall
Summary
Evan Mendoza is a Texas Longhorns infielder who suffered a right shoulder injury while diving for a ground ball during the first inning of Friday's game against Tennessee. He was unable to complete the throw to first base and exited the game. Mendoza was used as a designated hitter in Sunday's game and is expected to be available for DH duties in the upcoming Missouri series, but is unlikely to play the field this weekend. The coaching staff is still evaluating the severity of the injury and determining a timeline for his return to defensive play.
Strengths
- Started every game at second base for Texas this season prior to injury
