Carlos Beltran’s Baseball Reference page still lists him as a center fielder, but he hasn’t actually played an inning in the outfield in two months.
The Houston Astros have been using the 20-year veteran as their designated hitter since May (something they may want to reconsider given his .235 batting average), leaving his glove to collect dust on the shelf.
Beltran’s transition from center to DH has been difficult for many, and on Monday, his teammates came together to support each other and mourn the loss of a friend: Beltran’s outfield glove.
