Houston Astros Headlines

The Astros' spring training is off to a rocky start, with Jason Alexander's performance likely costing him a shot at the rotation, while Tatsuya Imai's injury scare during their game against the Mets had fans holding their breath. Imai had just taken the mound for 10 pitches before exiting, raising concerns about his durability in his first MLB season. Meanwhile, the Astros split their squad for a matchup against the Cardinals, where Peter Lambert will make his first start after a solid scoreless inning in his previous outing. As the team evaluates their options, the infield remains a topic of discussion, particularly with Isaac Paredes' expected contributions. Adding to the excitement, Shay Whitcomb is set to represent Korea in the World Baseball Classic, bringing a unique flair to the Astros' roster this spring.
