The Astros continue to promote their top prospects to the majors, as a report indicates the team will call up starting pitcher Vincent Velasquez on Monday, with the expectation that he will start Wednesday's game, per MLB.com.
Velasquez, the organization's No. 4 prospect, was 3-0 with a 1.37 ERA in five starts at Double-A Corpus Christi. He will join Lance McCullers as a Houston pitccher called up without making an appearance at Triple-A.
Velasquez was the Astros' second-round pick in 2010.
