A's Face Astros With Injury Woes | Houston Astros News

The Athletics head to Houston for a crucial three-game series against the Astros, seeking redemption after a brutal sweep by the Royals — their first four-game loss since 1994. The Astros, despite leading the AL West, are also looking to rebound after losing two of three to the Angels. With key players sidelined — Tyler Soderstrom headed for hip surgery and Jacob Wilson on the injured list — the A’s rely on J.T. Ginn, their most consistent starter this season (8-7, 3.53 ERA), to break a four-game skid and end his own winless streak. Facing him is Houston’s recently returned Hayden Wesneski (2-1, 5.16 ERA) — a pitcher still finding his footing since Tommy John surgery. For the A’s to compete, hitters like Bolte, McNeil, and Gelof must step up, while defensively staying sharp against Houston’s lethal duo: Yordan Alvarez and Jose Altuve.
