Hector Ambriz (ankle) is scheduled to throw live batting practice this week.
Ambriz was on a restricted throwing program the last two weeks with an ankle injury. He's behind the rest of the Astros' pitchers but should have no trouble being ready for Opening Day.

Hector Ambriz (ankle) will throw off a mound Friday.
Ambriz has been limited to playing catch since rolling his ankle last week during a fielding drill. He's a little behind schedule but should have no trouble being ready for Opening Day.

Hector Ambriz (ankle) threw lightly on Monday.
Ambriz rolled his ankle last week during a fielding drill, but he is already out of his protective boot and should be performing full workouts again by the end of this week. The 28-year-old right-hander is expected to function as a setup man this season out of the Astros bullpen.

MLB.com's Brian McTaggart reports that X-rays on Hector Ambriz's left ankle came back negative.
Ambriz rolled his ankle while trying to cover first base during a fielding drill this week and was spotted in a walking boot Friday. However, the injury doesn't appear to be serious and he should continue to be viewed as day-to-day.

Justin Maxwell (hand) ran and played catch Thursday and is expected to begin swinging a bat next week.
Maxwell had the protective cast removed from his fractured left hand on Tuesday and is ramping up his baseball activities slowly but surely. Barring a setback, he should be ready for activation before the end of the month.

Josh Fields (forearm) will begin a minor league rehab assignment Friday with High-A Quad Cities.
Fields is scheduled to throw two innings. The Rule 5 pick appeared in two games with the Astros in early April prior to being placed on the disabled list. If all goes well, he could return to the big club sometime this month.

Paul Clemens
Sidelined
Paul Clemens left Monday's appearance with a right pinkie injury.
Clemens was struck by a comebacker and appeared to dislocate the finger, but the Astros' trainer popped it back in place and he stayed in to face one more batter. The club reconsidered after that, though, and decided to remove him. Clemens saved the bullpen with 5 1/3 scoreless relief frames after Erik Bedard lasted only 1/3 of an inning.

Alex White
D.L.
Alex White will undergo Tommy John surgery.
White showed diminished velocity this spring and was diagnosed with a strained pitching elbow, but the injury turned out to be worse than that. The young right-hander will obviously miss all of 2013 and might not be ready for the start of 2014.
