Makes 49-pitch rehab start
Javier (elbow) struck out a batter and allowed one earned run on three hits and two walks over 2.2 innings in his rehab start Thursday for Triple-A Sugar Land.
Analysis
Making the third start of his rehab assignment following stops in the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Double-A Corpus Christi, Javier built up to 49 pitches in Thursday's outing. He'll likely need to push his pitch count up into the 75-to-90 range before the Astros are comfortable inserting him into the big-league rotation, so the right-hander is expected to require at least two more rehab starts prior to being activated from the 60-day injured list. Javier compiled a 3.89 ERA and 1.41 WHIP over his seven starts with Houston in 2024 before undergoing season-ending Tommy John surgery last June.
