Kessinger is listed on the Astros' ALDS roster, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Kessinger played a minimal role with the Astros during the regular season, slashing .200/.289/.325 across just 45 plate appearances. However, he went 3-for-12 with a homer against left-handed pitchers, so Kessinger may enter occasionally to pinch hit against southpaws.
