Carlos Correa's Banana

Christian Vázquez. See the light.

Some updates from Espada: - Hunter Brown will start Sunday at Corpus Christi. - Josh Hader will also pitch in that game. - Taylor Trammell will play tomorrow and Sunday at Corpus and could join Astros next week.

We have made the following roster moves:

Alimber Santa has been added to the Astros roster, Jayden Murray optioned. Santa is the Astros 16th top prospect. 1.42 ERA and 0.89 WHIP with the Space Cowboys

Cubs and Astros probables for this weekend at Wrigley Field: Friday: RHP Spencer Arrighetti (5-1, 1.50) vs. RHP Jameson Taillon (2-3, 4.97) Saturday: RHP Kai-Wei Teng (2-3, 2.61) vs. RHP Colin Rea (4-2, 4.98) Sunday: RHP Peter Lambert (2-4, 3.57) vs. TBA

Astros at Cubs: Peña SS Paredes 3B Alvarez DH Walker 1B Meyers CF Shewmake 2B Smith RF Cole LF Vazquez C Arrighetti RHIP

These so-called "upcoming" #Astros aren't good enough. Not yet at least. Cam, Brice, Dezenzo, Cole, Loperfido & likely now-slumping Shewmake aren't the answer. There's hope for Cam w a trip to AAA. Crane must see these guys AREN'T the future! Major trades & a solid draft can be.

Hunter Brown was up to 96 mph in a 22-pitch live batting practice yesterday, Joe Espada said. Provided Brown feels good today, he will start a rehab assignment this weekend.

ABD’de son evre kanser hastası bir kadın, “Ölmeden önce Baltimore’daki en sevdiğim restoranın brokoli tempurasını son bir kez yemek istiyorum” dedi. Bunun üzerine üvey oğlu restorana ulaşıp en azından tarifini istemek için e-posta gönderdi. Ancak restoranın şefi, tarifi vermek yerine ekibiyle birlikte 800 kilometre yol giderek kadının evine ulaştı ve tempurayı orada taze şekilde hazırladı. Şefin hiçbir ücret kabul etmediği olay, sosyal medyada büyük takdir topladı.

Astros will drop this one. No harm done. You needed a series win badly. Meyers and Peña should be back tomorrow. Time to string some W’s together.

The Astros against Kendry Rojas and some others: Peña 6, Paredes 5, Alvarez DH, Walker 3, Dezenzo 7, Shewmake 4, Matthews 8, Smith 9, Vázquez 2 Imai RHP

Dana Brown on @SportsTalk790 said Jeremy Peña will play two of three games in Minnesota, and RHP Nate Pearson would come of IL and pitch a couple of those games. “We could use some power on the back end,” he said. Pearson throws 101 mph.

Every player is different, but Jake Meyers suffered a Grade 2 left oblique strain April 9 an could be activated tomorrow. That's 5 1/2 weeks.

Astros GM Dana Brown said the plan is for Hunter Brown to return "some time in mid-June." Hunter Brown will throw a live BP on Tuesday and he could be on his first minor-league rehab appearance by the weekend, Dana Brown said.

Walker on another Astros injury: “It’s frustrating for sure. I see the guys prepare the right way every day. I see guys taking care of their body. Altuve’s dialed in. He eats the right stuff. He sleeps. He lives right & for something like that, it’s truly just apart of the game.”

The Astros are promoting catching prospect Jason Schiavone to Double-A Corpus Christi. Schiavone, 23, slashed .289/.452/.766 in 168 plate appearances at High-A. His 17 home runs lead all of minor league baseball.

And that’s how I know Ernie is a real one

Congratulations on your retirement, P.J. Tucker. Thank you for the memories in H-Town! ❤️🚀
