McHugh (elbow) visited with team doctors Friday and the Astros are expected to provide an update Saturday, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.
The next step for McHugh depends on what the doctors saw in Friday's evaluation. It certainly looks like the right-hander will miss all of April. In the meantime, the Astros will roll with Joe Musgrove and Mike Fiers in the starting rotation. If McHugh's prognosis indicates he'll be out a while, the team is likely to consider trading for a proven major league starter. The Astros were the most prominent team to pop up in trade rumors during the offseason for the White Sox's Jose Quintana.
