8/03/24	Houston Astros Cancel Rehab Assignment as Starter Faces Another Setback. The Houston Astros pitching staff has faced unforeseen injury problems with their starting rotation and don't seem to be getting any luckier. Unfortunate news came out of the Astros camp on Friday afternoon as insider Chandler Rome of The Athletic shared the news that right-handed pitcher Luis Garcia was dealing with elbow soreness. It was so bad, in fact, that the team cancelled his upcoming rehab assignment. Garcia was a key part of the Houston rotation to start his career and it looked like he was set to become an ace.

7/21/24	Could Houston Astros Pursue an Ace Made Available by Toronto Blue Jays?. The Houston Astros have authored the best turnaround in baseball this season. After sitting last place in the AL West earlier in the year and looking like potential sell candidates, they have now fought their way into first place and are playing like a team who has dominated the American League during their dynastic run. There isn't a whole lot that general manager Dana Brown has to add, but one thing the Astros certainly need is another starting pitcher even with Luis Garcia and Lance McCullers Jr. expected to return at some point this season. Who they might go after isn't known, but following Cristian Javier, Jose Urquidy and J.P. France all undergoing surgeries to end their years, they likely will target someone who isn't a rental and will be in the mix next season.
