Impact Javier made his fifth and likely final rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Sugar Land, allowing one run one two hits and four walks while striking out six over 3.2 innings. The right-hander holds a 5.14 ERA and 15:15 K:BB over 14 frames during his rehab assignment and reached 77 pitches Tuesday. Javier could rejoin the Astros' rotation as soon as Monday against the Red Sox. While he makes for a viable stash in fantasy leagues, it might be wise to leave him on your bench initially.

Making rehab start Tuesday Manager Joe Espada said Javier (elbow) will make a rehab start with Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact Javier threw 64 pitches over 3.1 innings during his fourth rehab outing July 31, and he'll continue building up his workload with Sugar Land. The right-hander has been on the shelf all season while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, but he could be cleared for his 2025 MLB debut with a strong showing Tuesday.

Completes fourth rehab start Javier (elbow) struck out three and allowed three earned runs on two hits and four walks in a rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Sugar Land.

Impact Making his fourth rehab start and second in a row at Triple-A, Javier built up to 64 pitches, though his control was spotty (33 strikes, four walks, one wild pitch). Over his three stops during his rehab assignment, Javier has posted a 6.10 ERA, 1.84 WHIP and a 9:11 K:BB in 10.1 innings. The Astros cleared some of the clutter in their rotation by moving right-hander Ryan Gusto to the Marlins ahead of the trade deadline, but Javier may still need to show improved form during his rehab assignment to reclaim a starting role with the big club once he's activated. Expect Javier to make at least one more rehab start before Houston potentially brings him back from the 60-day injured list.

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.

Impact 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 bringing him back from the 60-day injured list and inserting him into the big-league rotation, so Javier is expected to require at least two more starts in the minors. 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.

Ready for third rehab start Javier will make the third start of his rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Javier made his first two rehab appearances in the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Double-A Corpus Christi. After tossing 1.1 innings in the FCL on July 12, Javier built up to three innings in his most recent outing for Corpus Christi last Friday, allowing one run on two hits and two walks while striking out three. He'll likely push up his pitch count Thursday and will presumably need at least one or two minor-league starts after that before he makes his return from the 60-day injured list.

Rehab transferred to Triple-A Javier is joining Triple-A Sugar Land and starting Thursday night for his rehab assignment, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Javier started his rehab stint with the rookie-level Florida Complex League and then moved to Double-A Corpus Christi July 18. He made a single appearance at both levels in which he allowed a total of three earned runs with a 5:5 K:BB across 4.1 innings. He pitched a full three innings in his Double-A appearance and will look to expand upon that Thursday for Triple-A Sugar Land.
