This is Hakeem, Watt, Earl and whoever else you want to throw out there amongst Houston Sports legends…Once Yordan wins this MVP, he’s already put himself on Houston’s Mt. Rushmore…Y’all don’t understand what you’re seeing if you disagree. You will though.
Some updates from Espada:
- Javier will start tomorrow at Triple-A and Diaz will catch. Diaz could join the club for the Tigers series.
- Ronel Blanco threw 40 pitches in a simulated game today and will start a rehab in the FCL.
- McCullers is throwing off the mound.
The Astros get two homers from Yordan Alvarez in a nine-run first inning, including a grand slam, and then held on for dear life to beat the Royals, 10-8.
They improved to 32-39. There's a flood watch for tomorrow in KC.
Source: Astros OF Lamonte Wade Jr. will be placed on the 10-day IL today (right hamstring strain) and OF Joey Loperfido will be called up from Triple-A Sugar Land to join the club tonight.
It will be Loperfido's first time with the Astros since he strained his quad April 17.
Source: the Astros are going to place IF Nick Allen on the injured list with a hamstring injury and IF Shay Whitcomb will be called up from Triple-A Sugar Land to join the team tonight in Anaheim.
The Astros are promoting pitching prospect Cole Hertzler to Double-A Corpus Christi. Hertzler, a 22-year-old fifth-round pick in the 2024 draft, struck out 64 batters, walked 25 and posted a 2.72 ERA across 43 innings in High-A Fayetteville.
Hunter Brown’s next start will come at Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday. That would put him in line to come off the injured list against the Tigers at Daikin Park the following week.

All of this is still so unreal to me and I don’t think I’m ever going to fully grasp it…but I’m so grateful for everything. Thank you all for your support and for making this happen. ♥️ 🎪
