The Astros will call up Bloss from Double-A Corpus Christi to start Friday's game against the Orioles in his MLB debut, Ken Rosenthal and Chandler Rome of The Athletic report.
It's an aggressive promotion, as Bloss was a third-round pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft and has made just eight starts at the Double-A level. He'll skip over the Triple-A level and go straight to the majors after holding a 1.74 ERA and 60:21 K:BB in 62 innings covering 12 starts between High-A Asheville and Corpus Christi. Bloss is taking the rotation spot of the injured Justin Verlander (neck) and could receive an additional start after Friday while Verlander recovers.
