Lance McCullers Jr. - Tosses another sim game McCullers (forearm) threw approximately 40 pitches over two innings during a simulated game Saturday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact McCullers has faced hitters several times over the last few weeks, and he was able to mix in all of his pitches Saturday, including about 15 breaking balls. He said afterward that he felt good, and he'll be evaluated Sunday to see how he feels. If he checks out well Sunday, the right-hander will likely be cleared to begin a rehab assignment soon.

Jose Altuve - Returns as designated hitter Altuve (leg) will return to the lineup as the designated hitter Saturday against Oakland, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact Altuve left Thursday's game against the Angels with a bruised leg after getting hit by a pitch. He didn't take part in Friday's series opener against the Athletics but has been cleared to return at least as a hitter Saturday. It's possible he remains as a designated hitter Sunday in order to get a bit of extra rest heading into the All-Star break. Altuve was voted in as a starter for the American League but will skip the game due to the leg injury.

Mauricio Dubón - Gets chance as leadoff hitter Dubon went 1-for-4 in Friday's loss to the Athletics.
Impact Dubon filled in at second base and hit atop the order with Jose Altuve (leg) sidelined. Even with Michael Brantley (shoulder) and Yordan Alvarez (hand) sidelined, Dubon has started only two of the team's last six games -- both of which have come with lefties on the mound. However, if the team allows Altuve to get some extra rest prior to the All-Star break, Dubon looks to be in a position to benefit.

José Urquidy - Handed loss in quality start Urquidy (8-4) took the loss during Friday's 5-1 defeat at the hands of the Athletics, allowing three runs on six hits with nine strikeouts in six-plus innings.
Impact Urquidy cruised through six innings before encountering trouble in the seventh, surrendering three straight hits that prompted his removal. All three runners crossed the plate, putting the 27-year-old in line for the loss as Houston was only able to muster a single run. Despite the defeat, Urquidy has surrendered three runs or fewer while pitching at least six innings in six straight starts. He concludes the first half with a 4.09 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 74 strikeouts in 94.2 innings across 17 starts.
