Ronel Blanco - Nearing rehab assignment Blanco (elbow) tossed 40 pitches in a simulated game Saturday and will soon start a rehab stint in the Florida Complex League, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Blanco has been sidelined all season while continuing his recovery from last June's Tommy John surgery with an internal brace. The right-hander has been throwing bullpens for a few months and progressed to facing live hitters in late May. Blanco now appears ready to return to game action in the FCL, though he isn't expected to be ready to pitch for the Astros until after the All-Star break.

Yainer Diaz - Could return early next week Diaz (oblique) could rejoin the Astros during the team's series versus Detroit that begins Monday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Diaz has been sidelined since early May due to a left oblique strain. He began a minor-league rehab assignment June 9 and has gone 2-for-11 with a walk through three games with Triple-A Sugar Land. Diaz figures to reclaim his role as Houston's No. 1 catcher upon his return.

Tatsuya Imai Gave Astros Forgettable Start in Unforgettable Victory Yordan Alvarez’s incredible performance against the Kansas City Royals did more than just set franchise records.

2 DAYS AGO • SI.COM

Yordan Alvarez - Homers twice Friday Alvarez went 3-for-5 with two home runs and six total RBI in Friday's win over the Royals.

Impact Alvarez slugged both homers as part of the Astros' nine-run first inning. He launched a two-run shot off Luinder Avila and later belted a grand slam off Mason Black. Alvarez is up to 24 homers on the season, and he snapped a four-game home-run drought with this impressive performance. Alvarez also owns a blistering 1.092 OPS in 70 games and 305 plate appearances this season.

Nate Pearson - Earns win Friday Pearson (1-0) earned the win Friday against the Royals after pitching two scoreless innings. He allowed one hit and struck out one.

Impact Pearson did a good job finding the strike zone with 13 strikes in 15 pitches, and he made quick work of the seven batters he faced despite allowing a single to Salvador Perez in the sixth inning. Pearson hasn't allowed runs in six of his seven outings this season and figures to continue as a middle reliever for Houston. He owns a 3.12 ERA across 8.2 innings and seven outings thus far.

Tatsuya Imai - Lasts 0.2 innings Friday Imai didn't factor in the decision Friday against the Royals after allowing five runs on four hits and a walk across two-thirds of an inning. He struck out one.

Impact Imai tossed his first pitch holding a nine-run lead after the Astros' offensive explosion against Luinder Avila, but Imai wasn't much better and failed to complete the first inning. This was Imai's shortest outing of the season if we exclude the April 10 start against the Mariners in which he departed due to a right arm injury after recording just one out. Imai will carry a 6.43 ERA and 1.51 WHIP across nine outings into his next start, scheduled against the Tigers at home.

Josh Hader - Second save of season Hader recorded his second save of the season while pitching a perfect inning in Friday's 10-8 win over the Royals. He didn't record a strikeout.

Impact Hader has gone 2-for-2 in save chances this season, but he looks as dominant as ever despite making his season debut on June 3 following a left shoulder strain that kept him sidelined for the first two-plus months of the campaign. Hader owns a 7:1 K:BB in five appearances in 2026 and has yet to allow a run or a hit.
