  • Slight setback in recovery
    Andujar has been experiencing some lateral soreness in his surgically repaired right knee after recently beginning to take batting practice, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Manager Mark Kotsay labeled the development a "slight setback" that will slow Andujar's progress briefly. The veteran will eventually need a fairly lengthy rehab assignment, so this latest interruption in his recovery could push his potential return into the latter portion of May.

  • Grabs ninth hold Monday
    Adams recorded his ninth hold in Monday's loss to the Rangers, firing a scoreless seventh inning during which he recorded two strikeouts.

    Advice: Adams got through his one frame on a fairly efficient 14 pitches, lowering his ERA to 1.59 in the process. The right-hander has now cobbled together six consecutive scoreless appearances, a span in which he's recorded four holds and an 11.3 K/9. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago
     
  • Taking seat Tuesday
    Nevin is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Nevin started the previous 14 games and posted an .858 OPS during that stretch, though he's now in the midst of an 0-for-14 slump. Brett Harris is starting at third base Tuesday for the fifth straight game, which has resulted in Nevin seeing more action in right field. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago

  • Report: J.P. France could be out a while
    According to The Athletic’s Chandler Rome, J.P. France is dealing with a shoulder injury that could sideline him for a while.

    Advice: Well that’s not good. There hasn’t been an official transaction to put France on the injured list, but that could come soon. The 29-year-old dealt with shoulder issues during spring training, but he was still able to recover in time to make the team’s Opening Day roster. The 29-year-old posted a 7.46 ERA in his first five starts this season before the Astros demoted him to Triple-A Sugar Land. Rotoworld 46 minutes ago
     
  • Keeps raking in Monday's loss
    Toro went 3-for-4 with a double in a loss to the Rangers on Monday.

    Advice: Toro authored one of two multi-hit efforts for the Athletics on the night, accomplishing the feat for the fifth time in the last six games overall. Toro has also reached safely in nine of the last 10 contests overall, a stretch during which he boasts a stellar .455 average, 1.197 OPS and impressively modest 13.9 percent strikeout rate.

  • Not in Tuesday's lineup
    Langeliers is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Langeliers went 3-for-5 with a triple, a home run and three RBI against Miami on Saturday but is otherwise 0-for-10 over his past four contests. Kyle McCann will step in behind the plate to catch for righty Ross Stripling on Tuesday. Rotowire.com 50 minutes ago
     
  • Out with shoulder injury
    France was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday with a shoulder injury, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The right-hander was demoted to Triple-A on April 25 and surrendered three runs over 3.2 innings during his lone start prior to the injury. France is without an official timeline for his return but could be out "a while," per Rome. The injury won't immediately affect the Astros' rotation but is a big hit to their depth.

  • A.J. Puk (shoulder) whiffs two in rehab appearance
    A.J. Puk (shoulder) struck out two batters over a scoreless inning in a rehab appearance Monday in the Florida Complex League.

    Advice: Puk is going to work out of the bullpen whenever he comes back from his shoulder injury, and the left-hander has looked solid thus far in his rehab appearances. The 29-year-old has had success in that relief role, and if the Marlins were to move closer Taylor Scott — something that has been rumored as of late — he could be inline for save chances.

  • Starts up rehab assignment
    Puk (shoulder) made the second appearance of his rehab assignment with the Marlins' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate Monday, striking out two over a scoreless inning.

    Advice: Puk has turned in identical two-strikeout perfect innings in the FCL since he started up his rehab assignment Friday. The left-hander broke camp as a member of the Miami rotation, but after turning in a 9.22 ERA and 2.63 WHIP over his four starts before landing on the injured list April 20 with shoulder fatigue, he'll work out of the bullpen once the Marlins activate him. Puk could settle into a high-leverage role in front of closer Tanner Scott right away upon his return to the big club. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:22 pm
