Astros' Ronel Blanco and David Hensley Return, Rangers Lineup Updates

The Houston Astros are dealing with injuries to Jose Altuve and Cristian Javier, with Altuve unlikely to play before the All-Star break and Javier being skipped in the rotation due to mechanical issues. In response, the Astros are recalling Ronel Blanco and David Hensley to fill their spots. Blanco, who recently picked up a win in his last start, is a logical replacement for Javier, while Hensley provides infield depth. The Astros have optioned Parker Mushinski back to AAA to make room for Hensley, indicating that only one of Altuve or Javier may go on the IL.
