Astros Hit by Injuries as Altuve Exits and Brown, Hader Near Returns

Astros’ Jose Altuve left the game with a left-side injury and will undergo imaging, with a possible injured list stint discussed given his age; his 2026 start has been weaker than his peak. Houston also expects a boost soon from pitchers Hunter Brown (shoulder) and Josh Hader (biceps tendinitis), who are both nearing returns after rehab, Brown throwing a live batting practice soon and Hader needing about five more rehab appearances. The bullpen’s 5.81 ERA remains a major weakness as the club — currently 19-28 and listed as fourth in the NL West in the piece — tries to stabilize the rotation and lineup.

Astros' Pitching Woes Exposed as Rookie Hunter Brown Struggles

Houston Astros rookie pitcher Hunter Brown has shown flashes of brilliance but also struggles with consistency in his first full major-league season. With injuries and a lack of pitching depth, the Astros are relying on Brown to develop quickly and become a reliable mid-rotation starter. However, his recent performance highlights the risks of expecting too much from a rookie. The team's starting rotation is stretched thin, and their bullpen is exposed when Brown struggles. The Astros may need to consider adding a veteran pitcher before the trade deadline to alleviate the pressure on their young arms.
