Astros Face Depth Challenge as Javier Exits With Shoulder Tightness
Astros right-hander Cristian Javier exited after one inning with shoulder tightness, leaving the team to assess the injury as they consider a six-man rotation after Hunter Brown’s shoulder strain; the club also saw Jake Meyers leave with oblique and lower-back tightness, adding to depth concerns as Houston navigates injuries and looks at internal options like Cody Bolton, Spencer Arrighetti, and others during a heavy 13-game stretch.
