Throws bullpen session Odorizzi (forearm) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session Wednesday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Odorizzi hit the injured list in late April but was never shut down for an extended period. He's still being treated cautiously, however, as he's expected to throw another bullpen session before heading out on a rehab assignment, where he could wind up making more than one start. That could potentially push his return date to late May.

Astros take 3-game slide into matchup with Yankees

Rehab assignment now on tap Astros general manager James Click said Wednesday that Odorizzi (forearm) is "trending toward maybe needing a rehab start or two" before being activated from the 10-day injured lis...
Impact After noting just a few days earlier that he believed Odorizzi would be ready to rejoin the Astros without requiring a rehab assignment beforehand, Click is now walking back those comments. Click reiterated that Odorizzi's forearm remains structurally sound, so the Astros are seemingly just taking some extra caution by plotting out a minor-league assignment for the veteran right-hander. Luis Garcia -- who is scheduled to start Wednesday against the Yankees -- looks like he'll be able to make at least one more turn through the rotation after that before Odorizzi rejoins the mix.

Progressing well Odorizzi (forearm) resumed throwing Thursday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Manager Dusty Baker said Saturday that Odorizzi is progressing well in his recovery, and the right-hander is slated to throw off flat ground Saturday and Sunday. Odorizzi is expected to miss 2-to-3 starts due to a right pronator muscle strain, but he appears to be trending in the right direction.

Avoids structural damage Odorizzi is expected to miss 2-to-3 starts after being cleared of any structural damage in his right forearm Tuesday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
Impact The 31-year-old was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right pronator muscle strain after exiting Saturday's start against the Angels, but he's not expected to face a lengthy absence. Odorizzi could rejoin the rotation during the second week of May if his recovery progresses as expected.
