Josh Hader - Shaky in non-save situation Hader allowed two earned runs on two hits and no walks while striking out one across one inning Tuesday against the Tigers.
Impact Hader entered the game in the ninth inning with Houston up 6-2. He got the first two outs without incident, but then served up a double and a two-run home run. These were the first earned runs Hader has surrendered since Opening Day, and he owns a stellar 20:3 K:BB across 15 frames.

Isaac Paredes - Showing patience at plate Paredes went 1-for-2 with a triple, two walks, an RBI and two runs scored Tuesday against the Tigers.
Impact Paredes has at least one hit in seven of his last eight games, going 9-for-29 in that span. More impressively, he's managed four walks while striking out only twice in that same sample. Paredes tallied his first triple of the season Tuesday, raising his ISO to .159 across 125 plate appearances for the season.

Yainer Diaz - Tallies three RBI in win Diaz went 2-for-4 with three RBI in Tuesday's win over Detroit.
Impact Despite not recording an extra-base hit, Diaz tallied three RBI on Tuesday. The 26-year-old backstop has endured a sluggish start to the campaign overall, but he's fared better at the plate of late. Diaz is batting .270 (10-for-37) with one home run, one double, six RBI and five runs scored over his last 10 games, and he has at least one knock in six of his last seven outings.

A.J. Blubaugh - Confirmed for Wednesday start Blubaugh will start Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact Blubaugh was added to Houston's taxi squad Tuesday while the team debated on relying on its bullpen or a spot starter Wednesday to give Hayden Wesneski a couple of extra days to rest. The Astros opted for the latter, creating an opportunity for the 24-year-old righty to make his MLB debut. Blubaugh has turned in a 3.86 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 21 innings at Triple-A Sugar Land this season, and he'll be welcomed to the majors by the American League's fourth-highest scoring offense.

Ryan Gusto - Fans six in no-decision Gusto didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Tigers after allowing two runs on four hits and two walks in 4.1 innings. He struck out six.
Impact Gusto tied a season high with six punchouts, and he was also able to generate 12 whiffs Tuesday. However, his two walks represented a season worst, and he couldn't get through the fifth inning despite throwing a season-high 90 pitches. Over 27 innings in 2025, the rookie right-hander has still been a pleasant surprise for the Astros with a 3.00 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 29:6 K:BB so far. With Lance McCullers (forearm) on the verge of being activated from the injured list, Gusto is still in danger of losing his rotation spot.

Lance McCullers Jr. - Bullpen session on tap Manager Joe Espada said McCullers (forearm) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday before the Astros determine whether he's ready to be reinstated from the injured list, Brian McTa...
Impact The right-hander has a 2.84 ERA and 16:6 K:BB across four rehab outings, and if all goes well Wednesday, he could make his next start in the majors. McCullers hasn't pitched in the big leagues since 2022 while recovering from arm issues, so it's a good idea to keep expectations in check despite his track record as a top-level starter prior to the injuries.

A.J. Blubaugh - Candidate to start Wednesday Blubaugh is with the Astros as a member of the taxi squad and is a candidate to start Wednesday against the Tigers, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Hayden Wesneski is being pushed back in order to provide him some extra rest, so Houston is in need of a spot starter. However, Blubaugh isn't guaranteed to start since the Astros have a team day off Thursday, so a bullpen day could be employed if the unit is in good shape after Tuesday's contest. The right-hander has a 3.86 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 28:10 K:BB across 21 innings so far this season with Triple-A Sugar Land.

Hayden Wesneski - Getting extra rest Manager Joe Espada said Tuesday that Wesneski is healthy but won't make his scheduled turn through the rotation Wednesday against the Tigers in order to get him some extra rest, ro...
Impact The right-hander labored in his last start Friday versus the Royals, as he issued three walks after handing out just one in his first four starts of the year. Wesneski has worked as a swingman in the majors prior to this year with 22 starts in 68 appearances, so it's not a huge surprise he'll require some extra rest here and there. The Astros haven't announced who will start instead Wednesday, but A.J. Blubaugh is a likely candidate and is on the taxi squad, per Rome. Wesneski now appears poised to take the mound Friday on the road versus the White Sox.

Yordan Alvarez - Back in lineup Tuesday Alvarez (undisclosed) will start at designated hitter and bat third in Tuesday's game versus the Tigers.
Impact Alvarez was pulled from Monday's game with an undisclosed injury after hitting a single in the bottom of the seventh inning. Whatever he was dealing with evidently was not a big deal, as he will not have to miss any starts.

Cam Smith - Not in Houston lineup Smith is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Tigers.
Impact Smith is just 4-for-22 at the plate since his two-homer game on April 18 and is now out of the lineup for the third time across the Astros' last six tilts. Zach Dezenzo is in right field and batting seventh for Houston.

Mauricio Dubón - Splitting time at second base Dubon went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Monday against the Tigers.
Impact Dubon began the season in a clear bench role, though his playing time has started to tick up at second base. Houston has shifted its order around in an effort to jumpstart its offense, with Dubon starting four of the team's last eight games -- splitting evenly with Brendan Rodgers. The split of time hasn't been predictable by matchup, and one of Rodgers or Dubon is likely to emerge as the primary option based on performance.

Jeremy Peña - Two straight at leadoff Pena went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored Monday against the Tigers.
Impact Pena led off Sunday, though that came against a lefty and with Jose Altuve on the bench. It was more noteworthy that he was in the same spot Monday, with Altuve hitting second in the order. While there are plenty of bigger names in the Houston lineup, Pena has been a steady producer and has increased his walk rate to 7.9 percent and is getting on base at a .333 clip through 114 plate appearances.
