The Astros announced Saturday that pitcher Brett Oberholtzer will start Monday's game against the A's.
The Astros had to choose between removing Oberholtzer or Brad Peacock from the rotation with Collin McHugh set to return, and Peacock lost out on the battle, being sent to Triple-A Oklahoma City Saturday. Oberholtzer owns a 4.32 ERA and 51:19 K:BB ratio in 77 innings.
