Astros | Jake Odorizzi injury update
Updating a previous report, Houston Astros RHP Jake Odorizzi (forearm) left the game early Saturday, April 24, because of right forearm tightness.   Source: MLB.com - Brian McTaggart
 
BHQ take: Not great, and we'll doc Odorizzi some time without waiting for a prognosis. The best bet for a 4- or 5-inning replacement is rookie Luis García, who has pitched credibly (2.70/4.89 ERA/xERA) in 12 IP over three outings that include two starts. Framber Valdez isn't likely to return until at least late-May.   —Jock Thompson
 
Impact: High
Garcia, Luis    PT Gain: 2%
