Season-high six Ks in short outing Wesneski (2-1) took the loss against the Mariners on Saturday, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk in four innings. He struck out six.

Impact Wesneski was never quite able to find his footing Saturday after coughing up four runs in the second inning, turning in his shortest outing of the campaign so far. The right-hander recorded a season high in punchouts for a positive note, but he's yet to reach the 90-pitch marker in any of his four starts since returning from Tommy John surgery. Wesneski will be trying to further build up his pitch count against the lowly Athletics his next time out, carrying a 5.16 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 18:7 K:BB over 22.2 innings.

Goes seven innings in no-decision Wesneski allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Monday.

Impact Wesneski gave up solo home runs to Jung Hoo Lee and Drew Gilbert, but the right-hander was still able to claim his second quality start in three outings this season. He's shown little rust coming off of May 2025 Tommy John surgery, allowing no more than three runs in any start so far. He's at a 3.86 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 12:6 K:BB through 18.2 innings. Wesneski is projected to make his next start at home versus the Mariners over the weekend.

Impact Wesneski delivered a strong outing to strengthen his case for a spot in the rotation ahead of the final two months of the regular season, and with Spencer Arrighetti (foot) shipped to Toronto and Tatsuya Imai moving to the bullpen, all signs point to Wesneski remaining as a starter. Wesneski has made just two starts this season since returning from Tommy John surgery and the numbers are decent, as he's allowed five runs on 11 hits and four walks while striking out eight, tossing two wild pitches and hitting a batter. He has won both starts and owns a 3.86 ERA ahead of his next outing, which should be scheduled for next week on the road against the Giants.

Trammell homers and Altuve has 2 RBIs in the Astros' 7-2 win over the Blue Jays

Remaining in rotation Wesneski is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays in Houston.

Impact After completing his recovery from May 2025 Tommy John surgery and finishing up a five-start rehab assignment, Wesneski returned from the 60-day injured list last Wednesday and stepped into the Houston rotation. He picked up a win in his 2026 debut, limiting the Angels to three earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four batters over 5.2 innings. With Houston dealing away Spencer Arrighetti (foot) on Monday and recently shifting Tatsuya Imai to the bullpen, Wesneski should have a fair amount of security in the rotation over the rest of the season if he performs capably.

Earns win in season debut Wesneski (1-0) allowed three runs on seven hits, two walks and a hit batsman while striking out four over 5.2 innings to earn the win over the Angels.

Impact Wesneski made his first major-league appearance since May of 2025, completing his recovery from Tommy John surgery. The right-hander showed some rust, but he took advantage of a favorable matchup to get the win while throwing 52 of 79 pitches for strikes. It wouldn't be surprising for Wesneski to operate with a slight workload restriction for a few more starts. He is tentatively lined up for a home start versus the Blue Jays next week.

Activated ahead of start The Astros reinstated Wesneski (elbow) from the injured list ahead of his start Wednesday against the Angels.

Impact Wesneski's start will mark his first appearance on a big-league mound since May 2025, as he's been on the shelf for more than a year recovering from Tommy John surgery. The right-hander has made five appearances in the minor leagues over the past month, however, turning in a 2.25 ERA and 1.00 WHIP alongside a 21:4 K:BB in 20 innings. Miguel Ullola was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land in a corresponding move.

Starting Wednesday Wesneski (elbow) will return from the injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Angels, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact After spending the first several months of the season on the injured list while finishing up his recovery from May 2025 Tommy John surgery, Wesneski will officially make his season debut Wednesday and claim the spot in Houston's rotation vacated by Spencer Arrighetti (foot). Wesneski made five starts in the minor leagues after getting the green light to begin a rehab assignment June 30, during which he posted a 2.25 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 20 innings split between rookie ball, Double-A and Triple-A. He built up to 80 pitches during his last outing at Triple-A Sugar Land, so the Astros may not place a limit on his pitch count during his start Wednesday.

Nearing return from 60-day IL Wesneski (elbow) struck out seven and allowed one unearned run on two hits and two walks across 4.1 innings in a rehab start Friday with Triple-A Sugar Land.

Impact Wesneski has been on the shelf all season while completing his recovery from May 2025 Tommy John surgery, but he's closing in on his 2026 big-league debut. He's made five starts during his rehab assignment, with the right-hander having compiled a 2.25 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 21:4 K:BB in 20 innings across stops with Sugar Land, Double-A Corpus Christi and the rookie-level Florida Complex League. After building up to 80 pitches and generating 12 whiffs in Friday's outing, Wesneski should be fully stretched out for a starting role and could be a candidate to move into the big-league rotation, which has an opening after Spencer Arrighetti (foot) was moved to the injured list Saturday. The Astros will need to add a new starter to the mix Wednesday in Anaheim, though it's unclear if Wesneski would be activated from the 60-day injured list to pitch on four days' rest, after he received at least five days of rest between each of his rehab appearances.
