Ryan Pressly - Wearing protective sleevePressly threw off flat ground Friday while wearing a protective sleeve on his injured right knee, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

ImpactPressly has seemed to be close to a return to action for the last several days, but the Astros have yet to announce when he'll be activated from the injured list. He continues to be able to throw, but the fact that he's wearing a protective sleeve backs up the idea that he's still not 100 percent.

Dustin Harris - Big night for MidlandHarris went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run and three RBI for Double-A Frisco on Thursday.

ImpactBatting third in the order, Harris hit the second of two homers in the ninth inning, when the RoughRiders plated all of their runs in a 6-1 win. The outfield prospect has moved beyond a slow start at Double-A and is slashing .316/.369/.474 with two long balls, 13 RBI, nine runs and three steals in 15 games.

Matt Bush - Saddled with lossBush (0-1) allowed two runs on one hit and a hit batsman while striking out one over the eighth inning, taking the loss Thursday against Astros.

ImpactThe teams were locked in a pitchers' duel, with the scored tied at one apiece entering the eighth. Bush has been an important late-inning asset for Texas, but after hitting a batter, the right-hander served up a two-run home run to Kyle Tucker. It was the fourth time in eight outings that the Bush allowed runs.

Kole Calhoun - Moves to leadoffCalhoun batted leadoff and went 0-for-4 in Thursday's 3-2 loss to Houston.

ImpactCalhoun slotted in the leadoff spot for the second consecutive game, both coming against right-handers. That had been Brad Miller's job, but a 4-for-31 stretch has him at the lower end of the order. Calhoun, who has gone 2-for-9 atop the order, is hitting .184/.204/.420 through 51 plate appearances. Against lefties, Marcus Semien leads off while the lefty-hitting Calhoun is typically on the bench.

Corey Seager - Homers, scores twiceSeager went 2-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored in a 3-2 loss Thursday against Houston.

ImpactSeager made it a one-run ballgame with his one-out, solo homer to straightaway center field in the ninth off Rafael Montero. It was his second homer of the season and first since April 14. Coming into Thursday's game, the shortstop was 4-for-28 with no extra-base hits in his previous seven games. Despite that slump, he still has a respectable .257 batting average and, with a .499 SLG in his career, his power should show up at some point.
