Astros Pitchers Return in Wave | Houston Astros News

Astros’ pitching staff is on the mend as Ronel Blanco and Lance McCullers Jr. prepare for rehab starts this Tuesday, both throwing 60 pitches in recent outings. McCullers recovers from a rotator cuff issue, while Blanco, post-Tommy John, continues his comeback. Reliever Bennett Sousa and Hayden Wesneski (also Tommy John rehab) join the rehab rotation this Sunday. Manager Joe Espada stresses the need for depth as the season heats up. On the position side, shortstop Jeremy Peña ramps up activity, possibly returning soon, while infielder Braden Shewmake had a scary pitch incident—no fracture found. Even with injuries like Raynel Delgado’s dislocated pinky, the team stays ready.
