7/21/24 Could Houston Astros Pursue an Ace Made Available by Toronto Blue Jays?. The Houston Astros have authored the best turnaround in baseball this season. After sitting last place in the AL West earlier in the year and looking like potential sell candidates, they have now fought their way into first place and are playing like a team who has dominated the American League during their dynastic run. There isn't a whole lot that general manager Dana Brown has to add, but one thing the Astros certainly need is another starting pitcher even with Luis Garcia and Lance McCullers Jr. expected to return at some point this season. Who they might go after isn't known, but following Cristian Javier, Jose Urquidy and J.P. France all undergoing surgeries to end their years, they likely will target someone who isn't a rental and will be in the mix next season.

7/10/24 Houston Astros Star Prospect Will Reportedly Start Thursday After IL Stint. Starting pitching is a major need for the Houston Astros right now. After three of their starters suffered season-ending injuries and Lance McCullers Jr. had a setback in his throwing progression, they need viable options in their rotation to continue making a push towards the playoffs. At some point after the All-Star break, the expectation is they'll get back Justin Verlander and Luis Garcia, but adding someone at the trade deadline is something this front office is focused on. According to Chandler Rome of The Athletic, star prospect Jake Bloss is going to be activated from the IL and will be the starting pitcher for Thursday's matchup against the Miami Marlins.

7/09/24 Astros get another tough Lance McCullers Jr. injury turn. The Houston Astros have done an exemplary job at withstanding the initial onslaught of the 2024 MLB season and staying afloat. Despite being 13-4 since June 19 and only two games out of first place in the American League West, the 46-44 team is not in the clear yet. Danger might still loom ahead for this injury-ravaged group, specifically the starting pitching rotation. The best way to combat these potential roadblocks, which Houston has so brilliantly navigated to this point, is to either acquire additional arms or welcome back old ones.

5/08/24 Oft-Injured Houston Astros Hurler Set for First Throws Off Mound. The Houston Astros have had a revolving door in their starting rotation thanks to injuries. One is Lance McCullers Jr. On Tuesday, Will Kunkel of Fox 26 in Houston reported that he will throw 10 to 12 pitches in a bullpen session. The Astros shut him down, but the injury never healed due to a bone spur. Last June he had surgery to repair the flexor tendon in his right arm and remove the spur.

The Astros have been mostly lucky with health when it comes to position players, but pitching has been a different story. Two of the Astros' eight mainline starting pitcher candidates are already out until July (Lance McCullers, Jr. and Luis Garcia).

The Houston Astros nearly made it back to the World Series in 2023, but they did it without one of their best arms in Lance McCullers Jr. It does appear McCullers Jr will miss a lot of the upcoming season as well, but he's optimistic about possibly returning a couple of months before the playoffs.
