Javier (elbow) struck out three and allowed three earned runs on two hits and four walks in a rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Sugar Land.
Making his fourth rehab start and second at Triple-A, Javier built up to 64 pitches, though his control was spotty (33 strikes, four walks, one wild pitch). During his rehab assignment, the right-hander has posted a 6.10 ERA, 1.84 WHIP and a 9:11 K:BB in 10.1 innings. The Astros have only four healthy starting pitching options on the 26-man active roster after shipping Ryan Gusto to the Marlins at the trade deadline, but Javier may need to show improved form before he'll be activated from the 60-day injured list. Expect him to make at least one more rehab start.
