Cristian Javier News: Returning to team Saturday
Manager Joe Espada said Friday that Javier (personal) will return to the Astros on Saturday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Javier left the team Wednesday to tend to a personal matter. The right-hander is entering his age-29 campaign and will be entering a season at full health for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery in May 2024. Across eight starts last season, Javier logged a 4.62 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 34:15 K:BB over 37 innings.
