Wesneski's Rehab: Astros Pitcher Nears MLB Comeback
1 Jul
Summary
- Pitcher Hayden Wesneski is rehabbing an elbow injury and recently threw in Florida.
- He has not allowed a run in 6.1 innings across two rehab starts.
- Wesneski is expected to follow a similar rehab path as Ronel Blanco.
Hayden Wesneski, a pitcher for the Houston Astros, is actively rehabilitating from Tommy John surgery on his elbow. He recently completed a rehab game in Florida, pitching three innings, allowing one hit and one strikeout.
Wesneski is reportedly a few weeks behind teammate Ronel Blanco, who underwent a similar procedure. In two rehab starts, Wesneski has thrown 6.1 innings, yielded three hits and three walks, while accumulating seven strikeouts, and notably, has not conceded any runs.
His progression is expected to mirror Blanco's, potentially leading to an activation sometime after the All-Star break. This return would bolster the Astros' pitching rotation, especially with Hunter Brown and Cristian Javier also nearing their comebacks.
The Astros acquired Wesneski as part of the Kyle Tucker trade. He previously pitched six games for the Astros last season, posting a 1-3 record with a 4.50 ERA over 32 innings.
