The playoff races and the Trade Deadline are heating up, and so are several position prospects.

That performance could get him promoted to

HOUSTON -- All-Star shortstop Jeremy Peña, who’s been out since he fractured a rib June 27, went 0-for-2 with two runs scored, two strikeouts, a walk and a hit by pitch in his first Minor League rehab start Tuesday night in Triple-A Sugar Land’s 8-5 loss to Tacoma. Peña, who

HOUSTON -- Another day, another player lands on the injured list for the Astros. This time it is left-handed starting pitcher Brandon Walter, who was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday with left elbow inflammation. Walter, who threw seven innings of one-run ball Wednesday in Phoenix, becomes the 18th

HOUSTON -- With seven starting pitchers on the injured list and in the midst of playing 13 consecutive games without a day off, the Astros’ starting pitching depth is being tested. Lance McCullers Jr. landing on the injured list on Tuesday with a blister was the latest blow to a

PHOENIX -- Astros manager Joe Espada has so much confidence in his players and his team’s winning process that he had no trouble sitting star second baseman Jose Altuve and hotshot rookie Cam Smith for rest on Wednesday, despite already being down five starting position players because of injuries.

PHOENIX -- Had the Astros not suffered an alarming number of injuries -- five players who were in their Opening Day lineup are on the shelf -- Brice Matthews would still be manning second base at Triple-A Sugar Land. The Astros didn’t have that luxury, though, and called up their

PHOENIX -- Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez took another small step Monday in his return from a fractured bone in his right hand when he hit some soft toss in the batting cage, in addition to hitting baseballs off a tee, which he has been doing for a few days. He
