Craig Biggio will start for the Astros at catcher on Saturday. He will catch one or two innings before returning to second base, according to the Houston Chronicle. The retiring Biggio began his career at catcher and moved to second base, the outfield and back to second base. "I don't want to go back there and embarrass myself," he said. | September 5, 2007
Craig Biggio was held out of the starting lineup on Tuesday due to a sore right shoulder, according to the Houston Chronicle. It's unclear if he'll be forced to miss any more time with the injury. | August 16, 2007

Craig Biggio has announced that he plans to retire at the end of the 2007 season, according to the AP. "I get to go out on top. The 3,000th hit night was the best. I'll never forget that," Biggio said at a news conference Tuesday. "I'm in a good place. I think I've done everything I could on a baseball field." Biggio is currently hitting .247 with five homers and 37 RBI on the year. | July 18, 2007
Craig Biggio wasn't in the lineup Tuesday and isn't scheduled to play on Wednesday, the AP reports. Biggio will play on Friday at Pittsburgh. | July 1, 2007
Craig Biggio is expected to rest Sunday against Colorado, the AP reports. Biggio went 2-for-4 in Saturday's loss. | June 28, 2007
Craig Biggio got to 3,000 hits and beyond in style Thursday night, going 5-for-6 in Houston's dramatic extra-innings win over Colorado. The third hit, a single in the seventh inning, made Biggio the 27th player in major-league history to reach the 3,000 hit plateau. Biggio's final hit of the night was part of Houston's four-run rally in the eleventh inning, capped by Carlos Lee's walk-off grand slam. | June 25, 2007
Craig Biggio was not in the lineup on Monday night and was also scheduled to take Wednesday off during the Astros' three-game series against the Brewers, according to the AP. He is four hits shy of becoming the 27th player with 3,000 or more. "I just want it to happen, no matter when or where," he said. "Obviously, I'd love for it to happen in Houston, I think the fans in Houston deserve it, but we've got to win some games, so we'll see what happens." | April 8, 2007
Although Astros manager Phil Garner often gives Craig Biggio the day off on Sunday, he said he will likely play the second baseman today against St. Louis, the AP reports. Garner says he is cognizant of the fact that a lot of home fans would be disappointed if Biggio didn't play. "I like to try to play him at home as much as possible," Garner said. "If I drove an hour or something to the game, I'd like to see him play." Garner would also be wise to consider Biggio's home/road splits; the veteran hit .298 at Houston last year (along with 15 of his 21 homers), but Biggio's average dropped to .178 on the road. |
