With 33 games in the next 34 days and Jake Odorizzi struggling, Dusty Baker is considering his options, including Cristian Javier in a starting role.
Cristian Javier, currently a long reliever. figures to be the most likely candidate to join the Astros' starting rotation.Manager Dusty Baker said the Astros are considering expanding to a six-man rotation for an upcoming stretch of 33 games in 34 days, meaning that even with a new addition,Jake Odorizzi’s six-run first inning against the Angels on Wednesday continued, by his own admission, an “atrocious start to the season.” He has allowed 12 runs across nine innings in three starts.
The most likely option to join the rotation is Cristian Javier, who began the 2021 season as a starter before moving to the bullpen and becoming the Astros’ long man. On Wednesday, Javier threw 32/3 scoreless innings in relief with three hits, one walk and four strikeouts. “Obviously, his fastball is a very, very good pitch for him,” Castro said Wednesday. “It’s just getting the command of his off-speed, which he did a very nice job tonight, kind of staying within himself and not trying to overthrow it. And that allowed him to kind of get ahead and not just rely on his fastball and mix speeds pretty much at will, so that was good to see from him.”“We’ve been talking about that, and that’s why we wanted to get him stretched out tonight,” Baker said.
