Astros Move Alexander, Bring Up Van Wey

Astros send struggling starter Jason Alexander to Triple-A after a brutal eight-run first inning, promoting reliever Logan Van Wey to bolster the bullpen. Alexander, pitching six innings despite giving up nine runs, earned praise for preserving arms — a rare feat since 2008. Van Wey, with solid MLB appearances but a higher Triple-A ERA, steps in to add depth. The move restores the five-man rotation and gives starters extra rest as Houston navigates injuries and seeks momentum. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
