Wesneski Returns, Astros Climb Back | Houston Astros News

Hayden Wesneski made a triumphant return to the mound for the Astros, pitching into the sixth inning after a 15-month layoff due to Tommy John surgery. Despite a shaky first inning that saw him surrender three runs, Wesneski settled in, adjusted his approach mid-game, and finished strong, helping Houston edge out a 7-4 win against the Angels. The victory snapped a streak of mediocrity, bringing the Astros back to .500 for the first time since April — a critical milestone as they gear up for the trade deadline. With their rotation struggling and bullpen stretched thin, Wesneski’s resilience and efficiency (79 pitches, no further runs) offered a much-needed spark, proving that even after a long rehab, a pitcher can still deliver when it matters most.
