The Houston Astros are returning for Grapefruit League action on Thursday evening as they host the National League East's Washington Nationals at The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches.

Houston is coming off of a 5-2 win over the New York Mets on Wednesday and will look to continue their winning ways as MLB Spring Training is drawing to a close. 

Few opportunities remain for the regulars to get their reps in and the fringe players to make their cases for the final roster spots. Time is ticking. 

Thursday's game is scheduled for 5:05 p.m. CT with Luis Garcia scheduled to take the mound.

The good news is that this is one of the few MLB Spring Training games that will be televised in the local Houston market!

The game will be televised on AT&T SportsNet Southwest. You can also watch it on MLB.tv if you do not reside in the Astros market.

You can also watch it on fuboTV with a free trial by signing up here!

However, it can be listened to on the radio SportsTalk 790 or the MLB app.

Here are how the Astros line up on Thursday against the Nationals:

Yordan Alvarez 7

Jeremy Peña 6

Alex Bregman 5

Jose Abreu 3

Chas McCormick 9

Jake Meyers 8

Mauricio Dubon 4

David Hensley DH

Martin Maldonado 2
