"Dana Brown mentioned that the timeline for both pitchers is still fluid, expressing hope that their returns could 'hopefully...be a little sooner' than late May or early June."
"The Astros' injury list consists of 14 players, with Brown and Javier being two of 10 pitchers on either the 15-day or 60-day IL, leading to a makeshift rotation."
"Brown posted an 0.84 ERA over his first two starts before being placed on the 15-day IL, while Javier struggled with a 12.54 ERA over his first three starts."
"Assuming no setbacks, both pitchers will undergo a standard build-up process, including playing catch, bullpen sessions, and minor league rehab games before returning."
