The 28-year-old struck out two and walked one after coming in relief in the fourth inning. Ivey has only made one start in Triple-A so far, but last night’s outing shows that he’s already built up enough to throw 70 pitches in an outing. He has allowed just three runs (two earned) on seven hits in 13 1/3 innings this season with 11 strikeouts and six walks. Lance McCullers is returning to the Houston rotation soon, but should there be any roadblock in his recovery, Ivey could be an option if Ryan Gusto struggles as a spot starter for the Astros.

The fact that Alvarez still remains completely shut down from hitting, according to an official team medical report, as he continues to recover from a small fracture in his right hand seems to signal that he won’t make it back until after next month’s All-Star break. There isn’t an official timetable for his return yet, but he’s still several weeks away based on this latest update.

McCullers was supposed to start tonight, and the Astros had never relayed that anything was wrong with him. Ryan Gusto, who was due to start Tuesday, will take his place and start on four days’ rest. The Astros will need someone else to fill in for Gusto tomorrow. It could be Jason Alexander if he’s not needed tonight, or maybe the Astros will bring up A.J. Blubaugh, who would be on four days’ rest.

Alexander, who was claimed off waivers from the A’s last month, could go multiple innings tonight if needed with Lance McCullers Jr. out or he might start tomorrow’s game. The 32-year-old journeyman had a 1.74 ERA in 20 2/3 innings over four appearances for Sugar Land.
