Astros optioned RHP Rhiner Cruz to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Cruz has really struggled with his control in the early part of the season, posting a rough 4.40 ERA and 6/9 K/BB ratio over 14 1/3 innings. The 26-year-old right-hander figures to resurface in the bullpen at some point this summer.
May 2 - 4:34 PM
Astros activated RHP Rhiner Cruz from the 15-day disabled list.
Cruz spent the minimum amount of time on the DL with a sprained ankle. He'll return to a 2.08 ERA in 8 2/3 innings this season.
Tue, May 8, 2012 11:00:00 PM
Rhiner Cruz (ankle) gave up two runs in 2/3 of an inning during a rehab appearance with Triple-A Oklahoma City Saturday.
He'll make another appearance Monday. "Then we’ll see where we’re at with him health-wise, strength-wise and ankle-wise," Astros manager Brad Mills said. Cruz is eligible for activation Wednesday and could be ready at that time.

Maxwell is no longer wearing a brace on his fractured left hand and is progressing steadily. He's scheduled to have a routine X-ray on Tuesday to see how the healing is coming along. The outfielder should make a late May/early June return if all goes well.

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.
