Framber Valdez - Another strong outing Valdez didn't factor into the decision Thursday against Oakland, allowing a run on five hits and a walk over 6.1 innings. He struck out six.
Impact Valdez looked like he was on his way to a third-straight scoreless outing, as he blanked the A's through six innings. However, Oakland would eventually scratch a run across in the seventh before Brent Rooker tied the game 2-2 with a homer off Valdez in the eighth. While it was a tough finish, it was another excellent start overall for the left-hander, who's posted a 1.33 ERA over his last seven outings (47.1 innings). Valdez is 14-6 on the season with a 2.91 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 159:51 K:BB across 163.2 innings. He's currently scheduled to face the Padres on the road next week in his next outing.

Kyle Tucker - Expected back in outfield Friday Astros manager Joe Espada said Thursday that he plans to have Tucker back in right field for Friday's game against the Angels, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact All four of Tucker's starts since he was activated from the 60-day injured list last week have come from the designated hitter spot, but his return to his familiar right field position is imminent. Tucker is 2-for-11 with two RBI over 16 plate appearances since rejoining the Astros' lineup.

Ben Gamel - Hitting bench Thursday Gamel is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact Dating back to Aug. 24, the lefty-hitting Gamel has started in 16 of the Astros' 18 games, but his absence from the lineup Thursday will be his first against a right-handed starting pitcher (Mitch Spence) during that span. With Chas McCormick (hand) going on the injured list Thursday and Kyle Tucker still limited to the designated-hitter spot following his recent return from the 60-day IL, Gamel should retain a near-everyday role in the Houston outfield even though his bat has cooled of late. Gamel has gone 3-for-23 (.130 average) thus far in September, though he's drawn eight walks while striking out just five times.
SEPTEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Jose Altuve - Sitting out with side issue Altuve (side) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Altuve had to be removed from Wednesday's game due to discomfort in his right side. He and the Astros are downplaying the injury and referring to it as a day-to-day situation, but it's not a surprise he'll miss at least one game. Mauricio Dubon will handle second base Thursday while Altuve rests.

Bryan King - Recalled from Triple-A The Astros recalled King from Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact King has been great out of the Astros' bullpen this season, putting up a 2.05 ERA and 27:9 K:BB over 22 innings. He'll give manager Joe Espada another left-handed relief option.
SEPTEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Grae Kessinger - Rejoins major-league club The Astros recalled Kessinger from Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact Kessinger will give the Astros another infielder while Jose Altuve (side) is banged up. He's hitless in 15 at-bats at the major-league level this season.
SEPTEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Nick Hernandez - Sent back to minors The Astros optioned Hernandez to Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact Hernandez made a pair of appearance during his brief most recent stint in the big leagues, allowing one run over two innings. The Astros have decided to sub out the right-hander in favor of lefty Bryan King.
SEPTEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Chas McCormick - Officially lands on 10-day IL The Astros placed McCormick on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a fractured right hand, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact McCormick suffered the injury during Tuesday's game versus the Athletics when he crashed into the outfield wall. The fracture is considered small and he will be eligible to return during the final weekend of the regular season, but it's unclear whether he has a shot to make it back by that time.

Hunter Brown - Loses to Athletics Brown (11-8) allowed five runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out seven over five-plus innings to take the loss Wednesday versus the Athletics.
Impact Brown had not allowed more than two runs in any of his previous six starts before this setback. The Athletics tagged him for two runs in the third inning and added three more in the sixth, with the last of those runs surrendered when Caleb Ferguson allowed an inherited runner to score. Brown is now at a 3.59 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 168:56 K:BB through a career-high 158 innings over 29 appearances (28 starts). His next start is projected to be at San Diego.

Chas McCormick - Headed for IL Manager Joe Espada said Wednesday that McCormick has a fracture in his right hand and will need to spend time on the injured list, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact McCormick crashed into the outfield wall during Tuesday's contest and had to make an early exit from the game, and it now appears the 29-year-old will need to sit out for a while longer. There's no telling if he'll be able to return before the end of the regular season.
