Overview

• Spencer Arrighetti will start in Miami, completing his recovery from a fractured thumb with a 79-pitch Triple-A rehab outing.
• Cristian Javier is due for one more minor-league rehab start next week as he targets an August comeback from Tommy John surgery.
• Lance McCullers Jr. has resumed mound throws and Brandon Walter is playing catch as both prepare for additional bullpen sessions or rehab assignments.
• Luis Garcia and J.P. France have yet to log three innings in rehab outings and need more minor-league work to rebuild endurance.
• Houston declined to acquire a veteran starter at the July trade deadline and is relying on its sidelined pitchers to rebuild rotation depth.
