The Houston Astros have decided to postpone Hayden Wesneski's next start as he recovers from his recent outing. Manager Joe Espada indicated that the team is monitoring Wesneski's health, which has been a concern after his fastball velocity dropped during his last performance. Initially scheduled to pitch against the Detroit Tigers, he may also miss an upcoming series against the Chicago White Sox.

In the meantime, AJ Blubaugh, a promising 24-year-old pitcher, could make his major-league debut if called upon for the start. Blubaugh has shown solid performance in the minor leagues, having a respectable ERA. As the Astros prepare for a hectic stretch of games, they are considering a bullpen game or leveraging their depth to ensure pitchers like Wesneski are ready for future matchups.
