Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a one-year, $910,000 contract with the Astros in January of 2026.
Beginning rehab assignment
Sousa (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday.
Analysis
Sousa opened the regular season on the injured list after suffering a left oblique strain during his final spring training appearance. It's unclear how many rehab outings he'll need, but the Astros never imagined the southpaw needing much more than a minimum-length IL stint, so he could be added to the big-league bullpen relatively soon.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could miss considerable time
Sousa, who's dealing with an oblique injury, could miss considerable time and will open 2026 on the 15-day injured list, manager Joe Espada told Brian McTaggart of MLB.com.
Analysis
Espada declined to specify a timeline for Sousa's return, but it wouldn't be surprising if he's out longer than the minimum 15 days. The fact that the manager said Sousa will be out for "a while" suggests the scenario is far from ideal. Sousa will be shut down until he's able to throw without pain, and he joins Josh Hader, who's dealing with a shoulder injury, as key bullpen arms who won't be available in the early stages of the campaign.
