| 8/08/25 | Astros' Ace Luis Garcia Looks Very Strong in Latest Rehab Start. The Houston Astros have had so many injuries throughout the 2025 season that it's become tough even to keep track of who is currently on the IL and what injury they are dealing with. This trend has held particularly true for the Astros' starting rotation, as just about every starter on the roster has spent a considerable amount of time on the shelf for one reason or another. Lost among this long list of battered starters has been right-hander Luis Garcia, who has been sidelined for over two whole years at this point. The 2021 American League Rookie of the Year Award runner-up looked to be on track to become the next frontliner of the Astros' rotation, but Tommy John surgery in May of 2023 threw a wrench into those plans, and a number of subsequent setbacks have completely derailed them.

To make matters worse, just as Lance McCullers Jr. was beginning to look like his old self, he's gone back on the IL with a foot injury. Hunter Brown is in the midst of one of the best seasons that's been seen from a starter in years, and Framber Valdez is his usual consistently great self.
