Brendan Rodgers, second baseman for the Houston Astros, is currently listed as "day to day" due to soreness in his left hip, as confirmed by manager Joe Espada. After starting nine of the team's first twelve games, Rodgers missed his second consecutive game but participated in pregame workouts, indicating some improvement.

In the interim, Mauricio Dubón filled in at second base for the Astros in Rodgers' absence. Additionally, the team is looking at Lance McCullers Jr.'s rehab progress, as he is set for another minor-league start while the Astros cautiously work to build him up for potential activation. The Astros are aiming for McCullers to throw around 80 pitches before making a decision on his return to the roster.
