Miguel Ullola will serve as an opener for the Astros on Friday evening against the Rays.

The 24-year-old hurler has been used out of the bullpen in his first five appearances with the Astros but worked almost exclusively as a starter in the minor leagues. He has posted a 3.86 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and a 10/1 K/BB ratio over his first seven MLB innings. He has the talent to be a decent streaming option, but isn’t likely to work deep enough into the game to have a shot at a victory.
