Blanco Returns to Astros Rotation | Houston Astros News

Ronel Blanco is back on the mound for the Astros this Monday, set to start against the Marlins in his first appearance since Tommy John surgery last May. Before the injury, he dazzled with a 13-6 record and a 2.80 ERA, even tossing a no-hitter in his season opener. Now rehabbing through minor league games, he’s allowed just two earned runs in 17 innings. Manager Joe Espada says Blanco feels great and his stuff looks sharp — and with fellow rehabber Hayden Wesneski also on the horizon, the Astros are hoping this duo can revitalize a struggling rotation.
