Astros try to end road losing streak, face the Rockies

The Houston Astros visit the Colorado Rockies looking to stop a three-game road losing streak

29 MINS AGO • Associated Press

Mike Burrows - Gets little run support in loss Burrows (1-2) took the loss against Colorado on Tuesday, pitching 5.1 innings during which he allowed three runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out three batters.

Impact Burrows' big mistake was serving up a two-run homer to Willi Castro in the fourth inning. Aside from that, he scattered several hits but benefitted from two double plays and gave up just one additional run. However, Houston eked out just one run of support, sending Burrows to his second loss through three starts. The right-hander will carry a 5.63 ERA and 15:6 K:BB across 16 innings into his next outing, which is tentatively scheduled to come against the Mariners in Seattle.

Alonzo Tredwell - Dealing with shoulder injury Tredwell is sidelined with a strained shoulder and is without a timetable to return, Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline

Impact Tredwell missed the last two months of 2024 with a shoulder strain but returned to hurl a career-high 100 innings in 2025 across Single-A, High-A and Double-A. The 23-year-old righty logged a 3.18 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 40:12 K:BB in 22.2 innings at Double-A to close last year.

Ryan Forcucci - Nearing pro debut Forcucci (elbow, lower back) should be ready to pitch for an Astros affiliate sometime in April, Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline reports.

Impact Forcucci was on the mend from Tommy John surgery when the Astros drafted him in the third round in 2024, and he has yet to make his return from that injury. Callis also notes a lower-back injury for Forcucci, so it's possible his arm is fully recovered and it's his back that is delaying his pro debut at this point. Forcucci carries immense durability risk, but he had a monster upper-90s fastball in college and he could generate buzz in dynasty leagues once he returns to game action.

Carlos Correa - Resting Tuesday Correa isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Correa is slashing .283/.360/.489 against southpaws since 2024, but he'll step out of the lineup Tuesday despite left-hander Kyle Freeland taking the mound for Colorado. Isaac Paredes will man the hot corner instead and bat fourth.

Ethan Pecko - Begins rehab assignment Pecko (thoracic outlet syndrome) struck out four over two scoreless innings Saturday in a rehab start for Single-A Fayetteville.

Impact Pecko was missing in action during spring training, and now we know why, per Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline. It's encouraging to see him dominate in his first rehab start -- he allowed two hits and zero walks -- and if he can get back up to speed at Triple-A, Pecko could still be a big-league rotation option later this summer.

Hunter Brown - Has Grade 2 shoulder strain Brown has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 right shoulder strain and will be shut down from throwing "for a few weeks," Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact Brown will have to get built back up following the shutdown period, so he is looking at a lengthy absence even if he doesn't encounter any setbacks. The right-hander had gotten off to an excellent start this season before getting hurt, yielding just one run with a 17:6 K:BB over 10.2 innings covering two outings.

Cam Smith - Stays hot in loss Smith went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 9-7 loss to the Rockies.

Impact Smith has been on fire at the plate early in the season. He extended his hit streak to seven games Monday, going 10-for-24 (.417) with three homers, two stolen bases and a 1.375 OPS in that span. After slashing .236/.312/.358 with nine homers and eight steals across 493 plate appearances as a rookie in 2025, Smith has claimed an everyday role in Houston's outfield thanks to his fast start this year.
