Since his impressive debut in 2021, Jake Meyers hasn’t progressed as initially hoped for. A shoulder injury sustained in that year’s ALDS against the White Sox effectively derailed his career for two seasons, missing a significant portion of 2022 rehabbing from surgery while 2023 was more about shaking the rust off in limited playing time. It wasn’t an ideal situation for a young outfielder looking to stay in the majors.
One of the more...

It’s a Verlander day.
The Astros survived another shaky start by Hunter Brown to win their sixth straight game in the opener against Milwaukee. Homers by Jake Meyers and Jeremy Pena accounted for the scoring in the 5-4 win and got Brown his first W of the season.
Justin Verlander takes the mound today, hoping to make it seven straight. The Astros are five games under .500 but only four games behind the Seattle Mariners for first place in the AL...

Another day of Astros minor league action is in the books. See the results below!
Here is the previous day’s recap.
AAA:...When Houston general manager Dana Brown recently dismissed the notion of the struggling Astros being sellers at the trade deadline, his premise was grounded in the belief that his club would reel off a lengthy winning streak that would get it back to .500 and into postseason contention.

It is no secret that the Astros had a dreadful start to the season, bottoming out — at least thus far — with a 12-24 record. We also knew this roster had more talent than the record would indicate. But any resurgence is all for naught if the hole is too deep to climb out of and it was nearly entering that territory. After all, only three clubs, including the 2005 Astros, had ever qualified for the postseason after starting a season with a 15-25...
Jake Meyers and Jeremy Pena slugged home runs before four relievers preserved Hunter Brown's first win of the season as the Houston Astros topped the visiting Milwaukee Brewers 5-4 on Friday.

Can Hunter Brown stretch the five game winning streak.
Don’t look now, but with about 3/4s of the season still ahead, the Astros are only five games out of first place despite being six games below .500.
They’re winning again, and yet you feel like they’re still not firing on all cylinders. The most powerful Astros cylinder is the one not firing right now, Yordan Alvarez. He’s getting a...
While the Houston Astros have been surging since the Mexico series, right fielder Kyle Tucker has been surging all season. Having just been swept by the Chicago Cubs, the Astros were 7-19 going into their two-game series against the Rockies in Mexico City.
Astros rookie Joey Loperfido has started his major league career red hot, but is he due to cool off soon?

Even with an outfield featuring three regulars -- rookie Jackson Chourio, Blake Perkins and Sal Frelick -- each sporting a sub-100 adjusted OPS, the Milwaukee Brewers have constructed an offense that ranks in the top five in the National League in every category of significance.

Sweeping a series feels good, doesn’t it? Even if it is the Athletics! The Astros won Thursday night’s game 8-1 on the back of a solid pitching performance from Cristian Javier and great hitting throughout the lineup.
Javier started the game strong in the first, striking out two and allowing zero baserunners. This would be a portent of things to come.
Javier’s fastball is not what it was in 2022. The fastball is almost 2 mph slower, and its downward...

For a second straight season, Verlander might be reuniting with a former team of his at the trade deadline.
