Notes

Astros 1B Gurriel out 6 weeks

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel will have to wait even longer before playing this season.

Gurriel had surgery on his left hand Wednesday and the normal recovery time is six weeks.

Opening day for the World Series champions is March 29, when the Astros visit Texas. When Gurriel returns, he will serve a five-game suspension imposed by Major League Baseball for making an inappropriate gesture toward Dodgers pitcher Yu Darvish during the World Series.

Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow said Gurriel's hand was broken before he came to camp. Luhnow said he did not know the original cause of the fracture.

"It was non-symptomatic until recently and he started to feel something," Luhnow said. "Once you start feeling something, the right course of action is to just remove it because it's a pretty reliable surgery, and we know what the outcome is going to be."

The 33-year-old Gurriel hit .299 with 18 homers and 75 RBIs last year in his first full season in the majors. He played in one exhibition game this spring and homered.

A.J. Reed, J.D. Davis and Tyler White will get time to audition as a replacement.

Royals sign Duda

Lucas Duda and the Royals have agreed to a one-year contract, giving Kansas City a replacement for Eric Hosmer at first base.

The 32-year-old Duda hit .217 with 30 homers and 64 RBIs last year for the New York Mets and Tampa Bay, which acquired him on July 27.

Drafted by the Mets in 2007, he has a .242 with 138 homers and 405 RBIs in eight major league seasons.

Duda was 5 for 19 (.263) with two RBIs against the Royals in the 2015 World Series.

Hosmer left as a free agent and signed with San Diego.
