Justin Verlander - Could make season debut Friday Manager Joe Espada said Sunday that Verlander (shoulder) could make his season debut Friday against the Nationals, though the two have yet to talk since the right-hander's rehab st...
Impact Verlander made his second minor-league rehab start Saturday with Double-A Corpus Christi and he allowed five earned runs on seven hits and walk over four innings. The 41-year-old clearly didn't have his best stuff, but more importantly, he stayed healthy and continued to build up his workload. Verlander hasn't pitched particularly well in his two rehab starts as he's surrendered 11 earned runs, but the Astros may not want to delay his return any longer given their early season rotation issues.

Jake Meyers - Not starting Sunday Meyers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
