Houston Astros News & Updates

Enyel De Los Santos has received a much-needed boost in his recovery, cleared to throw again as the Astros hope to reinforce their bullpen. However, the uncertainty surrounding Josh Hader's timeline casts a shadow on the team's relief options. The situation grows more desperate with Jeremy Peña's fracture to his right ring finger, sidelining him for at least two weeks and jeopardizing his readiness for Opening Day. As the Astros prepare for today’s matchup against the Marlins in Jupiter, all eyes will be on Tatsuya Imai, making his second start against Sandy Alcantara, the 2022 NL Cy Young Award winner. With the regular season approaching, the Astros' hopes hinge on their stars' health and the emerging prospects like Kevin Alvarez, who looks to make a splash in the upcoming Spring Breakout game.
