Okert pitched 71 2/3 innings for the Astros last year, logging a 3.01 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, and 84/19 K/BB ratio. He was also an impactful reliever for the Marlins back in 2021-22 and will be a key part of the Astros bullpen again.

HOU • Pitcher • #48

Steven Okert and Bennett Sousa are seen as the top candidates by MLB.com’s Brian McTaggert. It’ll be the first time the Astros have used a true opener this season. The team does have AJ Blubaugh on the taxi squad to potentially pitch as a bulk guy tonight, but he’s yet to be officially activated. If Blubaugh is activated, he’d still probably be sent down tomorrow to make room for Spencer Arrighetti.
