Astros manager Brad Mills said Chris Johnson will see most of the playing time at third base.
Mills indicated recently that Matt Downs could supplant Johnson, but that won't be the case. Both Downs and Angel Sanchez will still get plenty of playing time at the hot corner, though. "CJ's going to get the bulk of it," Mills said. "He got the bulk of it in the first half of the season, and he's going to get the bulk of it coming up here pretty quick. Hopefully he's able to get going." It's a situation to avoid in fantasy.

Chris Johnson has started just one of the last five games for the Astros.
Angel Sanchez made a third straight start at third base Friday and extended his hitting streak to eight games. Manager Brad Mills said he's discussed the situation with Johnson, who figures to continue to see limited playing time while Sanchez is hitting. Johnson is batting just .239/.281/.387 with six homers on the season. He's walked just 10 times while striking out on 72 occasions.
