Astros' Jeremy Pena: Clubs 15th long ball
Pena went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a walk in an 8-7 win against the Yankees on Wednesday.
Pena pulled the Astros to within two runs with his solo shot in the sixth inning, and he later gave his team another run with an RBI-single in the eighth. Pena has produced six multi-hit performances over his past 12 games, batting .306 with two homers, eight RBI, six runs and three thefts over that span. He's up to an .848 OPS on the campaign, which is on pace to blow away his previous career-best mark of .715.

Astros' Jason Alexander: Fans six over five frames
Alexander allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six batters over five innings in a no-decision against the Yankees on Wednesday.
Alexander wasn't dominant Wednesday, and all three runs he allowed scored on a pair of Yankees homers. Nonetheless, he kept Houston within arm's length, which proved critical when the Astros mounted a comeback over the sixth through eighth frames. Alexander has now given up three or fewer runs in seven straight outings, posting a 2.79 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with a 38:10 K:BB across 38.2 innings during that span. That's earned him a continued spot in the rotation, while Lance McCullers has been moved to the bullpen.

Astros' John Rooney: Shifts to 60-day IL
The Astros transferred Rooney (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Elbow inflammation sent Rooney to the injured list last week, and moving to the 60-day IL will officially put an end to his season. The 28-year-old turned in a 2.56 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 38.2 innings in Triple-A and gave up one run in 1.1 frames during his MLB debut. Jayden Murray was selected to the active roster in a corresponding move.

Astros' Jayden Murray: Contract selected
The Astros selected Murray's contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Spencer Arrighetti's (elbow) move to the injured list Wednesday will open up a spot on Houston's pitching staff for Murray to join the big club for the first time in his career. The 28-year-old carries a 4.64 ERA and 1.33 WHIP through 64 innings in Triple-A this season and will likely be limited to low-leverage situations to begin his tenure with the Astros.

Astros' Spencer Arrighetti: Sent to injured list
The Astros placed Arrighetti on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with right elbow inflammation, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Arrighetti gave up just one run in 6.1 innings while punching out a season-high eight batters during his last start Saturday, but he reported pain in his elbow after a bullpen session Wednesday, per Rome. The Astros could revert to a five-man rotation until the 25-year-old righty returns; meanwhile, Jayden Murray will come up from Triple-A Sugar Land to provide Houston with extra bullpen depth.

Astros' Ramon Urias: Drawing fourth straight start
Urias will start at second base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
Urias will pick up his fourth straight start at the keystone after going 3-for-10 with a home run, a double, a walk and two RBI over the previous three contests. With Jose Altuve seeing most of his playing time of late at designated hitter or in left field, Urias looks like he could be a stable part of the lineup at second base while he's swinging a hot bat. Urias could eventually face competition for reps at second from Mauricio Dubon, who has been playing more in center field of late but may become more of a factor in the infield once Jake Meyers (calf) returns from the injured list.

Astros' Mauricio Dubon: Sitting for second time in four games
Dubon is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
Dubon will hit the bench for the second time in four games and could be transitioning back into more of a part-time role after he had been a near-everyday player for Houston since about mid-May. The last two of his starts have come in center field, but Jake Meyers (calf) will likely see the bulk of the opportunities at that position once he returns from the injured list, perhaps as soon as this weekend.

Astros' Isaac Paredes: Fields grounders, runs in outfield
Paredes (hamstring) fielded grounders and did some running in the outfield at Daikin Park on Wednesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Astros manager Joe Espada said that Paredes had follow-up MRI on his right hamstring strain Tuesday, and while Espada didn't reveal those results, Paredes' workout suggests he got good news from the imaging. Paredes suffered a torn right hamstring shortly after the All-Star break but opted to forgo surgery and will attempt to return before the end of the regular season.

Astros' Christian Walker: Getting breather Wednesday
Walker is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
Walker will get a routine breather after he started in each of the previous 15 contests. The Astros will go with the freshly activated Victor Caratini at first base as they try to even the series against the Yankees.

Astros' Chas McCormick: Sent down to minors
The Astros optioned McCormick to Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday.
McCormick hasn't played much for the Astros and has done very little with the action he has seen, going 1-for-16 over his last 12 games. He's clearing out to make space on the 28-man active roster for the return of Victor Caratini (concussion) from the 7-day injured list.

Astros' Victor Caratini: Back from IL, playing first base
The Astros activated Caratini (concussion) from the 7-day injured list Wednesday. He will start at first base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game versus the Yankees.
Caratini missed the minimum seven days while recovering from a concussion. He'll start at first base Wednesday as Christian Walker gets some rest.

Astros' Kevin Alvarez: Strong pro debut
Alvarez slashed .301/.419/.455 with two home runs, 11 steals, a 12 percent walk rate and a 9.9 percent strikeout rate in 47 games in the Dominican Summer League.
The lefty-hitting Cuban outfielder was one of the prizes of this year's international signing class and he has lived up to the hype. While his over-the-fence power was lacking, Alvarez banged 12 doubles and got the ball in the air consistently (38.5 percent groundball rate). His swing decisions were very strong, and he's a good runner for his size (6-foot-4, 184 pounds), so Alvarez has a chance to be a five-category fantasy outfielder in four or five years.

Astros' Jason Alexander: Remaining in rotation
Alexander is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Yankees in Houston, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
When he was initially called up from Triple-A Sugar Land on July 24, Alexander looked to be a temporary placeholder in the rotation until the Astros returned multiple rehabbing starting pitchers from the injured list. Much to the delight of the Astros, Alexander has pitched well enough to maintain his spot in the rotation, even though Spencer Arrighetti, Cristian Javier and Luis Garcia have since made their way back from the shelf. Houston has opted to move the struggling Lance McCullers to the bullpen to keep Alexander in the fold as a starter, and the journeyman right-hander should continue making regular turns through the six-man rotation throughout September so long as his performance warrants the opportunity. Since his call-up from Sugar Land, Alexander has produced a 3.18 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 35:10 K:BB in 39.2 innings across seven starts.

Astros' Framber Valdez: Tough outing versus Yankees
Valdez (12-8) allowed six runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out eight over five innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Yankees.
Aside from his seven shutout innings versus the Rockies last week, Valdez has been struggling mightily since the start of August. He's now allowed 27 runs (25 earned) over his last 35.1 innings. Tuesday's outing also saw him give up multiple home runs for the first time since July 5. Valdez is now at a 3.40 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 166:57 K:BB through 169.1 innings across 27 starts. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, which is projected to be at Toronto next week.
