Astros' Lance McCullers: Rehab start coming Saturday
McCullers (forearm) will make a rehab start with Double-A Corpus Christi on Saturday, MLB.com reports.
McCullers was scratched from a scheduled rehab outing last week due to a stomach bug, but he's since thrown a 33-pitch bullpen session. He was able to work four innings in a rehab outing April 12, so he is nearing a traditional starter's workload and potential activation from the injured list.

Astros' Chas McCormick: Makes sixth start
McCormick went 1-for-2 Wednesday against the Blue Jays.
McCormick appeared to be splitting with Jake Meyers in center field to begin the season, but his role has faded significantly of late. He was in the lineup for just the sixth time this season Wednesday, and he was removed for a pinch hitter in the sixth frame.

Astros' Ryan Gusto: Punches out six for third win
Gusto (3-1) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Wednesday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out six over 5.2 innings.
Gusto yielded only four base runners in Wednesday's start, with his lone blemish coming in the fourth inning when he gave up an RBI double to George Springer. Gusto generated 12 whiffs on a season-high 80 pitches (47 strikes) and was one out shy from recording his first career quality start. He's gone five innings in each of his last two outings, and for the season he's registered a 2.78 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 23:4 K:BB over 22.2 innings. He's lined up to face the Tigers at home next week.

Astros' Zach Dezenzo: RBI single in return
Dezenzo went 3-for-4 with an RBI single and a run scored in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jays.
Dezenzo returned Wednesday from a one-game absence due to a thumb injury, and he gave the Astros a two-run lead in the second inning on a single that brought home Yainer Diaz. Dezenzo has gone 5-for-7 with one walk, three runs scored and two RBI over his last two games.

Astros' Christian Walker: Cracks solo homer
Walker went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Toronto.
Walker got the Astros on the board in the second inning, when he took Bowden Francis deep to left-center field for a solo homer. Walker seems to have a turned a corner as of late, and over his last five games he's gone 7-for-19 with four runs scored, two home runs and four RBI.

Astros' Josh Hader: Escapes with seventh save
Hader allowed one hit and one walk in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jays. He struck out two batters.
Hader put himself in a bit of hot water when he gave up a walk and a double, but he bounced back to fan Alejandro Kirk before getting Myles Straw to fly out to center field to close out Wednesday's contest. He needed 23 pitches (16 strikes) to get through the ninth inning, but with an off-day Thursday the 31-year-old southpaw should be available for Friday's series opener against the Royals. Hader has not yielded a run since Opening Day against the Mets and boasts a 0.69 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 17:3 K:BB over 13 innings.

Astros' Andrew Taylor: Makes season debut at High-A
Taylor (elbow) made his 2025 debut at High-A Asheville last Thursday, striking out two while scattering three hits and two walks over three scoreless innings.
Taylor didn't pitch after May 7 last season due to an elbow injury, but the right-hander avoided surgery and appears to have received a clean bill of health early on in the 2025 campaign.

Astros' Ethan Pecko: Shelved at Double-A
Double-A Corpus Christi placed Pecko on its 7-day injured list April 10 due to an unspecified injury.
Pecko didn't make any appearances for Corpus Christi before being deactivated. The 22-year-old right-hander saw time at three different levels in 2024 and was especially impressive during his time at Double-A, turning in a 2.36 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 28:9 K:BB over 26.2 innings.

Astros' Jacob Melton: Returns from IL
Melton (back) has gone 4-for-21 with two home runs, two doubles, three walks and a stolen base over six games since being reinstated from Triple-A Sugar Land's 7-day injured list April 9.
Melton missed only a handful of games to begin the season while he tended to a back injury that he aggravated in the Astros' final Grapefruit League game. The 24-year-old is capable of playing all three outfield spots and is a plus runner with decent power, but his ability to handle a full-time role at the big-league level may hinge on him cutting down on strikeouts. He struck out in 25.4 percent of his plate appearances at Triple-A Sugar Land in 2024 and has already struck out seven times in 24 plate appearances (29.2 percent) this season.

Astros' Zach Cole: Back in action at Double-A
Cole (oblique) has gone 3-for-13 with a double, three walks and a stolen base in four games since being activated from Double-A Corpus Christi's 7-day injured list April 16.
After sustaining an oblique injury in the spring, Cole had a brief stay on the shelf to begin the season before getting cleared to make his debut last week. Though the 24-year-old is healthy again, cutting down on his strikeouts will likely be essential if he's to receive his first big-league call-up later this season or in 2026. He struck out at a 38.6 percent clip with Corpus Christi in 2024 and has already struck out in seven of his 15 plate appearances so far this season.

Astros' Jake Meyers: Getting day off
Meyers is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Blue Jays, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Meyers will get a breather after going 0-for-8 with six strikeouts in the first two games of the three-game set. Chas McCormick will start in center field and bat ninth as the Astros go for the sweep Wednesday.

Astros' Brendan Rodgers: Absent from Houston lineup
Rodgers is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Blue Jays, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Rodgers started the first two games of the series but will take a seat in Wednesday's finale. Mauricio Dubon is at second base and batting eighth for the Astros.

Astros' Cam Smith: Grabbing seat Wednesday
Smith is not in the lineup for Wednesday's tilt against the Blue Jays, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Smith had started each of the previous 13 contests but will get a breather Wednesday as the Astros try to complete a series sweep. Zach Dezenzo will cover right field and bat seventh.

Astros' Zach Dezenzo: Back in action Wednesday
Dezenzo (thumb) will start in right field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game versus the Blue Jays, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Dezenzo jammed his thumb on a slide into second base during Monday's game and didn't play Tuesday, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go as the Astros attempt to complete the sweep. Cam Smith is getting a night off.

Astros' Cam Smith: Could see time in center field
Smith took flyballs in center field prior to Monday's game against the Blue Jays and the Astros are considering using him at the position, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Smith has exceeded expectations with how well he's taken to right field, a position he had never played before. The transition has been so seamless that the team is mulling using Smith in center field on days when it's looking to inject more offense into the lineup. The idea of Smith playing center field "is in its infancy," per Rome, and may never happen, but if it does, Zach Dezenzo would likely play right field those days, with Jake Meyers on the bench.

Astros' Lance McCullers: Throws bullpen session
McCullers (forearm) threw 33 pitches in a bullpen session Tuesday, MLB.com reports.
McCullers was scratched from a scheduled rehab start Saturday due to illness. He is expected to make a start with Double-A Corpus Christi in the coming days, though the appearance has not been officially scheduled.

Astros' Shawn Dubin: Getting back to mound work
Dubin (ankle/shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday and will resume his rehab assignment shortly thereafter, MLB.com reports.
Dubin has been dealing with a shoulder injury since spring training and hurt his ankle in the midst of a rehab assignment. He has yet to appear in a game at any level this season, so he may require several rehab appearances before being activated.
