Astros pitcher Luis Garcia will face hitters in a live batting practice, moving forward in his Tommy John surgery recovery. Manager Joe Espada stated that Garcia has been progressing since his surgery last May. The Astros hope Garcia can return after the All-Star break.

Cristian Javier and José Urquidy, dealing with forearm discomfort, received imaging tests. The pitchers are seeking multiple doctor opinions for their injuries, with updates pending from Espada.
