The astros may be rounding the corner on their season of injuries. Check out KPRC2Ari's take in this week's Astros newsletter.
Astros starter J.P. France had two sparkling starts in the beginning of his MLB career, then came home to Minute Maid Park where he was promptly lit up by the Chicago Cubs.
The negative is his command, where France has high walk numbers in the minors. He was able to avoid the issue in his first couple starts, but a leadoff walk in the first inning led to his tendency to nibble at the corners of the zone, which led to some mistake pitches - three of which were hit for homers. There’s a happy medium between the dominant pitcher who had a 0.
On Thursday, Dusty Baker said Altuve will workout at Minute Maid Park, which will test how prepared he is to step back into the big league club. Altuve has healed quickly after his broken thumb, and will return pre-June, which was always best case scenario. Houston Astros' Mauricio Dubon runs up the first base line against the Chicago Cubs during the second inning of a baseball game Monday, May 15, 2023, in Houston.
