Astros Shuffle Roster with Call-Up and Option Move

The Houston Astros have recalled right-hander Shawn Dubin from Triple-A and optioned righty Brandon Bielak to Triple-A. Dubin will join the club as a reliever, while Bielak's struggles with command have led to his demotion. The Astros will revert to a five-man rotation, with Framber Valdez, Cristian Javier, Hunter Brown, J.P. France, and Ronel Blanco. Dubin's first appearance with the big league club will constitute his big league debut, and he will likely provide long relief for a bullpen that has recently relied on Seth Martinez for multi-inning outings.

Astros fall to Brewers despite Bielak's career-high innings.

The Houston Astros' hit-or-miss offense was shut out in back-to-back games against the Milwaukee Brewers, wasting solid starts from unproven pitchers J.P. France and Brandon Bielak. Bielak gave up three homers in a 4-0 loss on Wednesday, while France held the Brewers to one earned run in a 6-0 loss on Tuesday. The Astros' offense has been inconsistent this season, relying heavily on sluggers Kyle Tucker and Yordan Alvarez. Houston remains an elite pitching team despite injuries to three starters, but their offense remains an enigma.

Astros and Mariners Face Off in MLB Game Series.

The Seattle Mariners (16-17) face off against the Houston Astros (17-16) in a game where Seattle's Bryce Miller looks to continue his impressive debut performance against a tough Houston lineup.

Astros' Starting Rotation Suffers Multiple Injuries

The Houston Astros may need to add two starting pitchers to their rotation due to injuries to José Urquidy and Luis Garcia. With Lance McCullers still rehabbing, the Astros have limited experienced options to turn to. However, they have some available arms on the 40-man roster, including Brandon Bielak, J.P. France, Shawn Dubin, Ronel Blanco, and Forrest Whitley. Bielak, who has the most experience, was called up on Monday and threw four innings in relief of Garcia. France has been performing well at Class AAA Sugar Land, while Dubin and Blanco are more suited for relief roles. Whitley, the Astros' former No. 1 prospect, has struggled at Class AAA this season.

Astros' Luis Garcia joins growing list of injured starters with elbow discomfort.

Houston Astros' starting pitcher Luis Garcia left Monday's game against the Giants after only eight pitches due to right elbow discomfort. He will undergo an MRI on Tuesday. This comes after starting pitcher Jose Urquidy left Sunday's game with a shoulder injury that landed him on the injured list. Brandon Bielak, who joined the Astros earlier Monday as the roster replacement for Urquidy, worked four innings in relief and is the likeliest candidate to take over for Urquidy in the rotation. The health of the Astros' rotation is a growing concern as they have already lost Justin Verlander in free agency and Lance McCullers Jr. to injury at the start of Spring Training.
