Rafael Montero - Pitching well to begin 2024 Montero allowed one walk and no hits while striking out one across a scoreless inning to earn a hold Saturday against the Nationals.
Impact The Astros were projected to have a strong bullpen with Josh Hader, Ryan Pressly and Bryan Abreu all leading the way in high-leverage situations. However, each has struggled to begin the new campaign, while Montero has now turned in nine scoreless performances in 11 appearances. He's pitched primarily in the sixth and seventh innings this season, though he could earn higher-leverage work given his solid start.

Ryan Pressly - Blows save chance Pressly allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and no walks while striking out one across one inning to blow the save Saturday against the Nationals.
Impact Josh Hader threw 30 pitches to convert a save Friday, likely leaving him unavailable Saturday. Pressly was called upon to protect a two-run lead in the ninth inning as a result, though he failed to do so through a combination of bad luck and poor pitching. The leadoff man reached base on catcher's interference, but Pressly then proceeded to surrender a double and single that resulted in two runs crossing the plate. Pressly had pitched fairly well recently, but he's now allowed at least one earned run in five of 10 games this season with an overall ERA of 8.31.

Jake Meyers - Losing work to Dubon Meyers isn't in the Astros' lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Meyers will sit down for the third consecutive game Saturday in favor of Mauricio Dubon, who is batting .319 on the year and has posted a 1.158 OPS across his last five games. Given Meyers' declining production at the plate, he may end up dropping down the depth chart if Dubon is able to continue his hot streak.

Kyle Tucker - Busy night on basepaths Tucker went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double, two runs scored and two stolen bases in Friday's 4-2 win over the Nationals.
Impact The Astros went 5-for-5 on steal attempts during the contest, with Tucker leading the track meet. The 27-year-old outfielder has reached base safely in seven straight games, slashing .364/.563/.955 over that stretch with three homers, three stolen bases, eight runs, eight RBI and a stunning 10:3 BB:K. After missing his first career 30-30 campaign by a single homer last season, Tucker seems focused on reaching the milestone in 2024.
