Astros Option Alexander, Call Up VanWey

Houston Astros’ pitching nightmare continues as Jason Alexander imploded in Tuesday’s loss, surrendering nine earned runs in six innings—leading to an 10-7 defeat against the Rangers. The Astros swiftly optioned him to Triple-A and called up bullpen arm Logan VanWey, signaling mounting roster struggles. With a 24-32 record and fading playoff hopes, the team’s future hinges on the return of key arms like Hunter Brown, Josh Hader, and Cristian Javier in June—if they come back on schedule, the Astros might just claw their way back.
