AL West: Crowded starting rotation brewing in Houston
Aug 26 2025
We recently discussed the embarrassment of riches that the Astros have returning from the IL. What we did not factor into the returning pitchers is the fact that Jason Alexander has pitched so well that it may be hard to remove him from the rotation.
