Astros News
The Astros are in a tough spot as they prepare to face the Pirates tonight, fresh off a disappointing 10-6 loss that has left their record at 27-35. With 12 players on the injured list, adding Josh Hader back into the mix may not provide the boost Houston desperately needs. Although Hader is poised for his season debut, the timing seems off with the team still trying to find its footing. Jose Altuve's imminent return could stir excitement, but it may also complicate an already fragile situation. On a brighter note, Spencer Arrighetti's impressive 1.34 ERA earned him the AL Pitcher of the Month honors for May, and he will take the mound tonight, hoping for a solid performance against his former team.
