Hector Ambriz earned his second save of the season in Sunday's win over the Angels.
With Jose Veras unavailable after pitching the last two days, Ambriz pitched a scoreless ninth inning. He remains the top candidate for saves if Veras continues to struggle. Rule 5 pick Josh Fields could also find his way into high-leverage situations.
Jun 2 - 7:13 PM
Hector Ambriz recorded his first major league save Thursday by striking out two in a scoreless ninth against the Rockies.
Ambriz is next in line for saves if Jose Veras keeps struggling. Veras, who was having such a great May, has given up runs in three of four appearances, and he got tonight off after working three straight days. Ambriz isn't anything special; he wouldn't even have a spot in the bullpens of 20 major league teams. Still, he's become worthy of some consideration in AL-only leagues, and he'll be a certain pickup if Veras struggles next time out.
May 31 - 12:33 AM
Hector Ambriz allowed two hits but escaped his inning of relief unscathed in Monday's extra-inning victory against the Rockies.
He struck out one. Houston rarely affords its middle relievers with leads, which makes it difficult to accrue holds, but Ambriz has notched eight thus far, even though his work has proved uninspiring. Ambriz is 1-2 with a 4.94 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 19/8 K/BB ratio over 25 appearances.
May 28 - 3:08 AM
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.

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.

Edgar Gonzalez
D.L.
Astros placed RHP Edgar Gonzalez on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 26, with a right shoulder strain.
Gonzalez complained of soreness earlier this week, so he'll now get some extended rest. Josh Fields will replace him in the Astros' bullpen.
May 31
9
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.
