Astros recall Raynel Delgado from Triple-A

Javier will operate in a bulk relief capacity behind opener Bennett Sousa. The 29-year-old allowed three runs over four inning against the Athletics last weekend. It probably makes some sense to have him come in after an opener since he’s worked beyond the fifth inning just once in four starts since returning to Houston’s rotation earlier this month.

Wilson was set to miss the remainder of the season with a left shoulder subluxation anyways and will spend the offseason recovering from the surgical procedure. The 24-year-old shortstop should be ready to return to game action at some point during spring training, but there won’t be an official timetable from the club until after the surgery.

Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer told reporters Feltner got sick overnight but they’re hoping he’ll be available to pitch in relief. It’ll be Zach Agnos kicking off a bullpen game for the Rockies instead. The 29-year-old righty holds a lackluster 6.08 ERA across 97 2/3 innings of work this season.

Bratt gets the ball for the nightcap of Saturday’s twin bill at Oracle Park. The 23-year-old rookie has compiled an underwhelming 4.54 ERA and 25/28 K/BB ratio across 39 2/3 innings for Arizona this season. He’s not a recommended fantasy option in this spot.

Law joins Arizona’s relief mix prior to Saturday’s doubleheader against the Giants. The 35-year-old veteran hasn’t pitched in the big leagues since the 2024 campaign after missing all of last year recovering from flexor tendon surgery. He’s made 322 career appearances in the majors dating back to 2016.

Drake earns a ticket back to the minors after allowing five runs over four innings against the Giants on Friday night. The 26-year-old lefty has struggled to an inflated 6.53 ERA across 20 2/3 innings over five starts for Arizona this season. He’s one of the organization’s better pitching prospects, but he might not be ready to have an impact at the highest level.

Kelenic heads to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre as organizational depth for the final month of the season. It would be extremely surprising if he wound up making it to New York given their present outfield depth that doesn’t include Aaron Judge (rib) coming back from the injured list. The 27-year-old former top prospect has hit .219 (16-for-73) with one homer and six RBI in 36 games between the Rangers and White Sox this season.

Hancock remained in the contest to allow five runs over five innings after tweaking his left groin while making a diving tag in the first inning of Friday’s start against the Blue Jays. It certainly appears that the physical issue adversely impacted his performance. It sounds like there’s optimism the issue isn’t serious and that he’ll be able to make his next against the Red Sox on Wednesday. There should be a better idea of his status coming out of the weekend.

Taillon came out of Friday’s 48-pitch minor league rehab start for Triple-A Buffalo without any issues. He’ll throw a bullpen session next week before the Blue Jays determine his next steps. The 34-year-old veteran hit the injured list with forearm tendinitis earlier this month after just two starts with Toronto.

González receives his first opportunity with Miami after being claimed off waivers from the White Sox earlier this month. The 24-year-old didn’t end up pitching for Chicago this season after posting a respectable 2.66 ERA and 25/12 K/BB ratio across 20 1/3 innings over 16 relief appearances as a rookie last year. He was designated for assignment after struggling for a couple months at Triple-A to open the year.
