Astros To Activate Jose Altuve, Place Jake Odorizzi On 10-Day IL

By Connor Byrne | April 26, 2021 at 5:43pm CDT

5:43pm: Houston has also optioned infielder Abraham Toro and moved righty reliever Pedro Baez from the 10-day IL to the 60-day version, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic tweets. Baez inked a two-year, $12.5MM contract in free agency, but he hasn’t made his Astros debut yet. He began the season on the COVID-19 list, and then the Astros moved him to the 10-day IL on April 10 because of shoulder soreness.

3:13pm: The Astros will activate second baseman Jose Altuve from the COVID-19 list and place right-hander Jake Odorizzi on the 10-day injured list, Mark Berman of Fox 26 was among those to report. The team has also recalled righty Peter Solomon.

Altuve hasn’t played since April 13 on account of a positive COVID test. Before that, the former AL MVP got off to a strong .318/.380/.455 start over 50 plate appearances. The Altuve-less Astros primarily turned to Aledmys Diaz at the keystone during Altuve’s absence, and he performed well as a fill-in, evidenced by his .245/.327/.388 line through 55 trips to the plate.

Odorizzi is dealing with a right pronator muscle strain that forced him to exit his start against the Angels on Saturday after he threw just five pitches. Signed to a two-year, $23MM contract before the season, Odorizzi has been the weakest link in the Astros’ rotation thus far, having yielded nine earned runs on nine hits (including three homers) with 11 strikeouts against three walks in eight innings. The Astros expect Odorizzi to miss two starts.

    Forearm tightness is never a good sign for pitchers… hope it’s only aggravation and not a precursor to TJS.

        The tattoo actually says, ALCS, for Always Lying, Cheating & Stealing. The asterirics -and their fans- what a disgrace. Ahahahaha!

          At least spell asterisks correctly.
          Don’t worry the Astros learned to cheat from Beltran from his time in pinstripes.

    This team is quickly becoming dangerous once again. It only took getting half of their team back for it to happen.

          @ 92jays Will you guys heckle Springer when he comes to bat during a home game (if they play in Canada) or will you just be a hypocrite?

      Are you rejoicing an injury from a player who wasn’t even involved with the team when they were cheating? What a shitbag you are.

    Twins were right to not re-sign Odorizzi, apparently.

      BUT, if he’d signed earlier…
