Yainer Diaz (oblique) and Cristian Javier (shoulder) will begin their rehab assignments with Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday.
Diaz has been sidelined since May 4th with an oblique strain, and Javier has been out since April 8th with a shoulder strain. Diaz will likely need to make a handful of starts behind the plate before being activated, but that could come by early next week. Javier will likely need until at least early July before he becomes an option for the Astros’ rotation.
