Woo (pectoral) won't start in his usual rotation spot Thursday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

General manager Justin Hollander said Tuesday that the team still doesn't plan to place Woo on the injured list, and that the right-hander will instead play catch Wednesday or Thursday rather than start a game against the Rockies. A better idea of how far away the 25-year-old is from returning will likely emerge after his throwing session.

Walter (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery Monday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

The Astros announced that Walter was slated for elbow surgery a couple of weeks ago, but now that we know he specifically underwent a Tommy John procedure, it's safe to assume the left-hander won't return to a big-league mound until 2027. It's a notable loss for the Astros' rotation, as Walter finished his first season in Houston with a 3.35 ERA and 0.93 WHIP over 53.2 innings spanning nine starts.

Hendricks is expected to announce his retirement from professional baseball following the 2025 season, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Nightengale relays that the 35-year-old right-hander has already informed friends and family that he expects to bring an end to his 12-year MLB career, though a formal announcement may not be made until later in the offseason. After joining the Angels on a one-year, $2.5 million deal this past winter, Hendricks has been a serviceable innings eater, logging an 8-10 record, 4.79 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 106:43 K:BB across 159.2 frames. He spent the first 11 seasons of his career with the Cubs, winning his lone World Series title in 2016 while also leading the majors in ERA (2.13) and finishing third in NL Cy Young Award balloting that same season.

Dana took the loss Sunday against Colorado, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out five over six innings.

Dana gave up a solo homer to Blaine Crim in the fourth inning for one of the only three hits he allowed, but he was nonetheless handed his third straight loss after the Angels' offense managed just a single run of support in the defeat. It was the first time the right-hander has completed six innings this season, greatly building on his previous outings, and he now owns a 6.39 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 28:17 K:BB across 25.1 innings.

Kelly (12-9) took the loss Sunday against Miami, surrendering three runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out four over 4.1 innings.

The veteran right-hander cruised through the first three frames, allowing only two hits, but unraveled in the fourth and fifth, giving up five hits (including three doubles) and all three of his runs before being lifted. A short time ago, Kelly was a steady innings-eater for Texas, but he has now failed to complete six innings in three consecutive outings and has struggled overall, yielding 26 hits and 12 earned runs across just 13 innings during that stretch. The 36-year-old now owns a 3.52 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 167:48 K:BB across 184 innings.

Boyle allowed one run on four hits and four walks while striking out nine over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Red Sox on Sunday.

Boyle pitched fairly well, but the four walks got his pitch count up early. He exited at 93 pitches (62 strikes), and the Rays' bullpen was able to keep the lead the rest of the way. Boyle has had mixed results this year, but he's now at a 4.40 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 53:25 K:BB through 47 innings over 12 appearances (eight starts). He's allowed just one run over 10.1 innings in his two outings since returning to the big-league roster after a rough August. Boyle should get one more start this season, which is expected to be on the road in Toronto.

Early (1-1) allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out four over four innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Rays.

With the Red Sox in the thick of the wild-card race and Early pitching on just four days' rest, he likely had a shorter leash in this outing than in his first two starts. He struggled initially, giving up all three runs in the first inning before settling down, but the Boston offense wasn't able to get him off the hook. Early has still maintained a 1.88 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 22:3 K:BB through 14.1 innings over his first three big-league starts. He's projected for one more regular-season outing, which would be at home versus the Tigers.

Alexander (4-2) allowed seven runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out one over 1.1 innings to take the loss versus the Mariners on Sunday.

The Astros needed a good start, and Alexander was unable to deliver. Most of the damage came on a grand slam by J.P. Crawford and a two-run home run by Cal Raleigh. This was Alexander's worst performance as an Astro and just the second time he's allowed five or more runs since he was plucked off waivers from the Athletics. Overall, Alexander has a 4.83 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 61:25 K:BB through 72.2 innings across 17 appearances (12 starts) this season. The right-hander is tentatively projected for a road start versus the Angels in his last outing of the regular season.

Gilbert (6-6) allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out four over six innings to earn the win Sunday over the Astros.

Gilbert has allowed three runs or fewer in six straight starts, earning four quality starts and three wins in that span. The right-hander limited the damage to a Zach Cole solo home run in the third inning in this contest. For the season, Gilbert has a 3.43 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 168:30 K:BB through 126 innings over 24 starts. He is projected to make his final regular-season appearance at home versus the Dodgers.

Burke (4-11) yielded three runs (two earned) on six hits over four innings Sunday, striking out four and taking a loss against the Padres.

Burke coughed up a pair of runs in the second inning before serving up a solo homer to Fernando Tatis in the third. It was Burke's fifth straight outing of fewer than five innings pitched. On the bright side, he did not walk a batter Sunday after issuing 12 free passes over 15.1 frames in his previous four starts. He now owns a 4.29 ERA with a 123:62 K:BB through 130 innings this season. Burke's final start of 2025 is projected to be in Washington next weekend.
