Reliever Chris Devenski is joining the squad and fellow pitcher Bryan Abreu is gone. Other than that, it's the same old dominant Astros team taking the field.
Manager AJ Hinch wasn't expected to make any significant changes considering how well the pitching staff performed in the ALCS. There was no question around the position players because we know these guys are among the best in the sport.
The Astros’ World Series roster is out. They made only change from the ALCS.

The same old fearful lineup and starting rotation will be ready to try and capture the organization's second World Series in three years. However, they'll have stiff competition against studs Max Scherzer, Stephen Strasburg and Patrick Corbin, as well as offensive studs Anthony Rendon, Juan Soto and Trea Turner.
Get ready for an intriguing battle between a red-hot Nationals team and a powerhouse Astros squad.
