2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Hensley made his major-league debut in late August and played in only 16 games during the final six weeks of the regular season, but he took advantage of the playing time with a 1.027 OPS in 34 plate appearances. He spent most of the campaign at the Triple-A level and had a .298/.420/.478 slash line, and he should open 2023 with the big-league club. The Astros bolstered their infield with the signing of Jose Abreu, and there's not much room in the lineup for Hensley. He should operate as a bench bat but could receive more opportunities if/when injuries hit the team. Read Past Outlooks

Starting at keystone Sunday
Hensley is starting at second base and batting cleanup in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old covering the keystone ordinarily wouldn't be newsworthy at this point in spring training, but it's notable after Jose Altuve suffered an injury Saturday during the World Baseball Classic, with the initial fear being that of a broken thumb. Hensley made five appearances at second base last season and could split time there with Mauricio Dubon with Altuve likely unavailable to open the campaign.
