Jason Alexander - Back in minors The Astros optioned Alexander to Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday.

Impact Alexander was recalled from Triple-A on Tuesday, but he'll head back down after giving up five earned runs over 4.1 innings during Wednesday's loss to the Dodgers. The 33-year-old righty owns a 4.97 ERA and 1.52 WHIP through 29 innings (six starts) in the minors this season and could be called upon to make more appearances in the majors this year, especially considering the number of injuries that have already hit Houston's pitching staff.

MLB 2026 Buzz: Cubs starter Matthew Boyd set to undergo meniscus surgery

Lance McCullers Jr. - Short start due to possible blister McCullers was removed from his start Wednesday against the Dodgers in the top of the third inning after he appeared to be contending with a blister on his pitching hand, Chandler R...

Impact McCullers was visited on the mound by manager Joe Espada and a team trainer at one point during his start, and though he was able to stay in the game, he continued to struggle with his control before the Astros pulled him from the contest. In addition to issuing three free passes, McCullers threw three wild pitches and found the strike zone on just 39 of his 70 pitches overall. Even if McCullers checks out fine on the health front and is ready to make his next start, the Astros may have to begin considering moving him out of the rotation. After his disastrous outing Wednesday, McCullers's ERA now sits at 7.41 over 34 innings on the season.

Carlos Correa - Shelved with season-ending injury The Astros placed Correa (ankle) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact The transaction was merely a formality after Correa told media members earlier Wednesday that he would require season-ending surgery after tearing a tendon in his left ankle during batting practice prior to Tuesday's game against the Dodgers. Correa will face an expected recovering timeline of 6-to-8 months, which should put him on track to be ready for the start of spring training. Houston recalled Shay Whitcomb from Triple-A Sugar Land in a corresponding transaction, but Isaac Paredes should step in as the Astros' everyday third baseman in Correa's absence. In the short term, Nick Allen and Braden Shewmake are likely to share the shortstop position until Jeremy Pena (hamstring) is activated from the IL.

Last Night in Baseball: Benches Clear in Red Sox-Tigers After Hit by Pitch

Tatsuya Imai - Next start will be in majors Astros manager Joe Espada said Tuesday that Imai's (arm) next start will be in the majors, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Imai made his second rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Sugar Land, allowing one run on one hit with a 3:5 K:BB over three innings. The right-hander has not yet made a start on four days' rest, so if he's kept on that schedule, the earliest he'd rejoin the Astros' rotation is Monday at home against the Mariners. Imai -- who is coming back from fatigue in his pitching arm -- threw 63 pitches Tuesday, so he will not be ready for a full workload in his first start back with the big club.
