Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel is likely out until mid-May due to needing to undergo hamate surgery on his hand. A typical recovery time for the surgery is 6-8 weeks and Gurriel will need a stint of rehab to get up to speed on game action as well. Throw in his five game suspension which has still not been served for a derogatory gesture in last year's playoffs and Gurriel is nothing but a late mid-round pick by the looks of it. While Gurriel has shown a .300 bat in short order, his power is just modest by today's standards which serve as yet another knock on his outlook.
