Top Astros News

  • Astros' Jeremy Pena: Swats homer in win

    Pena went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Angels.

    Pena's homer in the third inning guaranteed he would extend his hitting streak to 11 games. That span has seen him go 19-for-46 (.413) with six long balls, accounting for half of his 12 homers this season. Overall this year, the veteran shortstop is batting .311 with an .866 OPS, 31 RBI, 50 runs scored, eight stolen bases and 10 doubles over 62 contests.

  • Astros' Yainer Diaz: Homers in four-hit game

    Diaz went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, a second RBI and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Angels.

    Diaz sat out both of the previous two games, and the rest seems to have benefited his performance. This was his first multi-hit effort since July 6 versus the Nationals, and it included his first homer since July 10. The catcher is batting .247 with a .677 OPS, seven homers, 25 RBI, 22 runs scored, nine doubles and no stolen bases over 51 games this season.

  • Astros' Bryan Abreu: Collects four-out save

    Abreu struck out one over 1.1 perfect innings to earn the save in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Angels.

    Josh Hader had pitched four of the last five days, so Abreu was called upon to close out this game. This was Abreu's second save since the All-Star break, but he is unlikely to carve out a larger sharing of closing opportunities as long as Hader is healthy. For the year, Abreu has a 4.74 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 48:28 K:BB through 38 innings, adding seven saves and six holds.

  • Astros' Hayden Wesneski: Earns win in season debut

    Wesneski (1-0) allowed three runs on seven hits, two walks and a hit batsman while striking out four over 5.2 innings to earn the win over the Angels on Wednesday.

    Wesneski made his first major-league appearance since May of 2025, completing his recovery from Tommy John surgery. The right-hander showed some rust, but he took advantage of a favorable matchup to get the win while throwing 52 of 79 pitches for strikes. It wouldn't be surprising for Wesneski to operate with a slight workload restriction for a few more starts. He is tentatively lined up for a home start versus the Blue Jays next week.

  • Astros' LaMonte Wade: Idle Wednesday

    Wade isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Wade will miss out on the starting nine for a second consecutive game after going just 2-for-28 since the All-Star break. Taylor Trammell, Lucas Spence and Cam Smith will form Houston's outfield trio while Wade sits.

  • Astros' Hayden Wesneski: Activated ahead of start

    The Astros reinstated Wesneski (elbow) from the injured list ahead of his start Wednesday against the Angels.

    Wesneski's start will mark his first appearance on a big-league mound since May 2025, as he's been on the shelf for more than a year recovering from Tommy John surgery. The right-hander has made five appearances in the minor leagues over the past month, however, turning in a 2.25 ERA and 1.00 WHIP alongside a 21:4 K:BB in 20 innings. Miguel Ullola was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land in a corresponding move.

  • Astros' Miguel Ullola: Back in minors

    The Astros optioned Ullola to Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday.

    Ullola gave up three earned runs in just one inning after getting called up Sunday, and he'll now lose his spot in the Astros' bullpen in order to make room for Hayden Wesneski's (elbow) return from the IL. Ullola owns a 4.92 ERA and 1.40 WHIP through 53 innings at Sugar Land and could make a few more appearances for Houston down the stretch as a replacement for a tired arm.

  • Astros' Christian Walker: Slaps 21st homer in win

    Walker went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Angels.

    Walker put Houston in front by taking Reid Detmers deep for a solo shot in the fourth inning, his 21st home run of the season. The blast snapped a 14-game homer drought for the veteran first baseman. Walker has started the second half batting 6-for-28 (.214) over nine games. For the season, he's slashing .235/.311/.455 with 21 home runs, 20 doubles, one triple, 62 RBI and 52 runs scored across 105 games.

  • Astros' Yordan Alvarez: Delivers 35th home run

    Alvarez went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Angels.

    Alvarez wasted little time making an impact, taking Reid Detmers deep as the second batter of the game for his MLB-leading 35th home run of the season. He came through again in the ninth inning, lining a two-out RBI single to drive in the winning run. The slugger has been on an incredible tear over his last 14 games, batting .429 with seven multi-hit performances, six home runs, four doubles and 13 RBI. Barring injury, Alvarez is on pace to shatter several career highs and has firmly established himself as the American League MVP favorite.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Grabs 14th save

    Hader recorded his 14th save Tuesday against the Angels, tossing a perfect ninth inning.

    Hader was unsurprisingly called upon in the ninth inning to protect a one-run lead and needed just four pitches to retire the side in order and lock down his 14th save of the season. The veteran closer remains a perfect 14-for-14 in save opportunities this year and has allowed just three runs across 24 appearances. Hader continues to dominate in the closer role, posting a 1.23 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 33:10 K:BB over 22 innings this season.

  • Astros' Peter Lambert: Fans six in no-decision

    Lambert did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Angels, allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out six over five innings.

    Lambert threw 59 of his 90 pitches for strikes and generated 12 swinging strikes in another solid outing. He allowed an RBI single to Vaughn Grissom in the third inning before Jorge Soler added an RBI double in the fifth. The right-hander has now completed at least five innings in 14 of his last 15 starts. Lambert has held opponents to two or fewer runs in each of his last five outings while piling up 32 strikeouts across 28.2 innings during that span. The 29-year-old will carry a 3.06 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 100:39 K:BB into his next scheduled start Monday against the Blue Jays.

  • Astros' Hayden Wesneski: Starting Wednesday

    Wesneski (elbow) will return from the injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Angels, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    After spending the first several months of the season on the injured list while finishing up his recovery from May 2025 Tommy John surgery, Wesneski will officially make his season debut Wednesday and claim the spot in Houston's rotation vacated by Spencer Arrighetti (foot). Wesneski made five starts in the minor leagues after getting the green light to begin a rehab assignment June 30, during which he posted a 2.25 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 20 innings split between rookie ball, Double-A and Triple-A. He built up to 80 pitches during his last outing at Triple-A Sugar Land, so the Astros may not place a limit on his pitch count during his start Wednesday.

  • Astros' LaMonte Wade: On bench Tuesday

    Wade is absent from the lineup Tuesday versus the Angels.

    The left-handed-hitting Wade is sitting as the Angels send southpaw Reid Detmers to the mound. Zach Dezenzo, Taylor Trammell and Cam Smith are the starting outfielders Tuesday for the Astros.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Astros' Yainer Diaz: Idle again Tuesday

    Diaz is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Angels.

    Diaz is absent from the lineup for the second straight game after sitting in Monday's 6-4 win over the Angels. Christian Vazquez has catching duties again and is batting ninth Tuesday.

  • Astros' Josh Hader: Records 13th save

    Hader picked up the save Monday against the Angels. He allowed no hits and two walks with no strikeouts over a scoreless inning.

    Entering with a two-run cushion, Hader allowed two free passes that brought up the go-ahead run with two outs, but he was able to induce a weak groundout from Vaughn Grissom to secure the victory. Hader has yet to falter in a save opportunity, converting all 13 of his chances while allowing just one run in those situations. Overall, the southpaw owns a 1.29 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 33:10 K:BB across 21 innings after missing the first two months of the season due to a bicep injury.

  • Astros' Cristian Javier: Earns win in long relief

    Javier (1-1) earned the win in Monday's 6-4 win over the Angels. He allowed three hits and no walks while striking out seven over five scoreless innings in relief.

    After Tatsuya Imai recorded just two outs and AJ Blubaugh covered through the third inning, Javier entered in the fourth frame and shut down the Angels offense with a season-high seven strikeouts. It was a much-needed performance both for the Astros, who were able to complete a comeback win, and for the right-hander himself, as he entered Monday with a 9.37 ERA and 2.20 WHIP in seven appearances (four starts) spanning 16.1 innings. With Ronel Blanco healthy and Hayden Wesneski (elbow) close to making his season debut, Javier is likely to remain in the bullpen for the time being, though his gutsy performance in Anaheim was certainly an encouraging step as he looks to turn things around the rest of the way.
