8/03/24 Houston Astros Cancel Rehab Assignment as Starter Faces Another Setback. The Houston Astros pitching staff has faced unforeseen injury problems with their starting rotation and don't seem to be getting any luckier. Unfortunate news came out of the Astros camp on Friday afternoon as insider Chandler Rome of The Athletic shared the news that right-handed pitcher Luis Garcia was dealing with elbow soreness. It was so bad, in fact, that the team cancelled his upcoming rehab assignment. Garcia was a key part of the Houston rotation to start his career and it looked like he was set to become an ace.

7/23/24 Two Key Houston Astros Pitchers Continue Injury Rehab Work. Injured Houston Astros pitcher Luis Garcia threw 31 pitches in a bullpen session at Minute Maid Park on Monday, one of two injured starters the team is keeping tabs on in the hope that one or more can return soon. The other is Justin Verlander. Another starter, Lance McCullers Jr., is no closer to resuming throwing. Garcia was top of mind as manager Joe Espada told local media that the right-hander got as high as 91 mph on the radar gun during the session.

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.

Luis Garcia went down with a right elbow injury last May and he underwent Tommy John surgery. Brian McTaggart shared a video of Garcia throwing off the mound before the game on Tuesday. The 27-year-old's return was already highly anticipated, but the Astros' starting rotation having so many issues early on is making it even more of a necessity.

5/19/24 Houston Astros 'Don't Foresee' Pair of Injured Pitchers Back Anytime Soon. It's been a tough year for the Houston Astros and their pitching staff. Already knowing they would be without Luis Garcia and Lance McCullers Jr. until roughly the midway point of this season, they were dealt some tough news when Justin Verlander came into camp behind schedule and started out on the injured list. Things started snowballing from there as Jose Urquidy hit the IL, followed by Framber Valdez and Cristian Javier. This forced the Astros to rely on their second-year starters, Hunter Brown and J.P. France, among some of their top minor leaguers who were called up.
