Javier is working his way back from Tommy John and is about a week behind his teammate, Luis Garcia, who is recovering from the same injury. Garcia moved from live batting practice to a two-inning rehab start in the Florida Complex League, so we should expect a similar path for Javier. At this rate, Javier could return to the starting rotation or a piggyback “bulk follower” role by early August.

Garcia also struck out four and threw 27 pitches in his two innings of work. This was a nice step in Garcia’s return from Tommy John surgery. He will likely try to push to three innings in his next start, which should come at a higher level in the minor league organization. At this rate, assuming he has no setbacks, Garcia could return to the Astros rotation, or perhaps piggyback with a starter like Colton Gordon or Brandon Walter, by the end of July.

Altuve got the Astros on the board in the opening inning with a sacrifice fly that tied the score at 1-1. He then smacked a two-run double in the fifth inning that pulled the Astros to within three runs at 6-3. The 35-year-old outfielder also drove in the game-tying run with an RBI knock off of Hunter Gaddis in the eighth inning. That would be the extent of their scoring, however. With his two-hit attack, Altuve is now hitting .272/.332/.456 with 16 homers, 50 RBI and six stolen bases (in 12 attempts) on the season.

Rutschman has been able to play catch and due some running and has played catch, but hasn’t progressed further than that. The 27-year-old will assuredly be back through the All-Star break, and then there’s a chance — but no guarantee — he could be back behind the plate by the end of July.

This was a 2-0 game until Jeffers, Willi Castro and Harrison Bader all homered off Porter Hodge in a six-run eighth inning. Jeffers came into this one 3-for-22 with no RBI in his previous nine games, but he’s batting a solid .246/.342/.400 overall. It’d be nice if the Twins didn’t have to DH him so often, but at least he’s producing while in the slot.
