Briefly

The Opener: Astros, Rockies, Tigers
"The Astros got hit with a double whammy on the injury front yesterday, as both center fielder Jake Meyers and right-hander Cristian Javier exited yesterday's game due to back and shoulder injuries respectively."
"The Rockies didn't enter the 2026 season with much hope for a successful campaign on the field, but the club has put together a bit of a winning streak with wins in each of their last four games."
"Those efforts will start tonight at 6:40 local time in San Diego when right-hander Randy Vasquez takes the mound for the Padres against an as-of-yet unnamed Rockies starter."
The Astros are likely to make roster changes following injuries to Jake Meyers and Cristian Javier. Taylor Trammell may replace Meyers, while options for Javier's spot include Spencer Arrighetti, Colton Gordon, and Jason Alexander. Meanwhile, the Rockies have won four consecutive games, improving their record to .500. They are set to face the Padres, with a chance to secure a winning record and potentially second place in the NL West. Randy Vasquez will pitch for the Padres against an unnamed Rockies starter, likely Chase Dollander.
