Jose Veras struck out two in a perfect ninth Monday to earn his seventh save.
Veras was awful this spring and in the first two weeks of the season, but he has seven saves in eight opportunities since April 19. That's more saves than full-time closers Chris Perez, Bobby Parnell and Steve Cishek have this season.
May 20 - 11:46 PM
Jose Veras picked up his fourth save of the season with a scoreless ninth inning against the Angels on Wednesday.
It was Veras' second save in as many games for the Astros after blowing an opportunity in his previous outing. Inconsistency and early-season struggles have resulted in the low save total, but it seems like he's got a pretty firm grip on the job in Houston. What few save chances the Astros do have should continue to go to Veras for the foreseeable future.
May 9 - 12:10 AM
Jose Veras served up a two-run homer to Alex Avila on Friday, blowing a save and taking a loss against the Tigers.
Veras hasn’t been very impressive in the closer’s role for the Astros, converting just two of his four save chances on the season. He now owns an 0-2 record, 5.25 ERA and 1.33 WHIP on the season. If he continues to struggle, Wesley Wright could potentially earn a look in the ninth inning.
May 3 - 11:28 PM
Jose Veras pitched a perfect ninth inning for his second save as the Astros beat the Mariners on Tuesday.
Veras has only had three save opportunities this year and has now cashed in on two of the three. On Tuesday, Veras struck out two in his inning of work. The Astros won't have many chances and Veras isn't a lock to nail down all of them, but it looks like he'll be called on to save what few close leads Bo Porter's team does have.

Justin Maxwell (hand) hit 15 balls off a tee and took 30 soft-tosses on Monday.
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.

Bud Norris left Tuesday's start against the Royals following six scoreless innings after aggravating his back injury.
Norris was originally supposed to start Sunday after leaving his previous outing with back spasms but was pushed back just in case. Obviously, it appears that he's not over the ailment. The righty gave up just five hits and two walks over six frames before exiting Tuesday. The Astros should provide an update on his status after the game.

Josh Fields
D.L.
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.

Jose Cisnero

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.
