Injuries
Hand - 15-day DL. On Double-A rehab assignment (Updated - 6/4/13)
News
Houston outfielder Justin Maxwell has not played well during his rehab with Double-A Corpus Christi, the Houston Chronicle reports Monday. The Astros centerfielder has yet to record a hit over 17 at-bats and has struck out eight times. The 29-year-old went 0 for 4 Sunday and was scratched from Monday's game due to an illness. Maxwell has been dealing with food poisoning for several days and was unavailable for comment. "He’s having trouble making contact," Hooks manager Keith Bodie said postgame Sunday. "He’s obviously missed a lot of baseball and whatever spring training preparation he had going on at the beginning of the season has been negated by his injury. Hitting is timing and his timing is not there."

News
Astros manager Bo Porter shuffled his lineup Tuesday against the Mariners, dropping catcher Jason Castro down to the No. 2 spot, hitting second baseman Jose Altuve third and first baseman Carlos Pena at cleanup. "Carlos has been swinging the bat well," Porter said, according to the Houston Chronicle. "More so I'm trying to protect Carlos and Castro and putting Altuve in between them so if they want to bring in a lefty they still have to [face] Altuve before they get to Carlos."

Norris (5-6) was charged with three runs on five hits and one walk while striking out six in seven innings pitched in a 4-0 loss. He threw 94 pitches, 63 for strikes. Norris has allowed three runs or fewer in all but two of his 14 starts this season. He is scheduled to make his next start Monday at home against the White Sox. He is 3-2 with a 2.28 ERA in eight starts at home.

News
Astros second baseman Jose Altuve returned from a slight groin strain that caused him to miss two games to go 1 for 4 with one RBI in Saturday's game against the Royals. Altuve picked right up where he left off, as the sixth-inning single extended his hitting streak to nine games. He owns a .297 batting average in 236 at-bats.

News
Astros starter Dallas Keuchel suffered the loss Monday night in Seattle, proving no match for Hisashi Iwakuma. Keuchel surrendered two runs -- one earned -- on seven hits and no walks over six innings. The earned run came on a fourth-inning homer by Raul Ibanez. Keuchel struck out six and dropped to 3-3 with a 4.37 ERA. Keuchel is 2-1 in his last three outings with four runs allowed over a span of 19 innings with 13 Ks.

News
Astros pitcher Wade LeBlanc, who was claimed off waivers Saturday from the Marlins, will be used in short and long relief, according to manager Bo Porter. "[LeBlanc] will add quality depth to our bullpen," Porter said, per MLB.com. "He's a true left-handed long guy who has the ability to start."

	Lucas Harrell, #64

News
Astros starting pitcher Lucas Harrell threw seven scoreless innings, but he couldn't lock down a win Sunday as Royals pitcher Luis Mendoza also went seven scoreless in what turned out to be an unexpected pitcher's duel. Harrell allowed two Salvador Perez singles, walking three and striking out one. Harrell has allowed two runs (one earned) through two June starts (14 innings), but he's 0-1 in that span. Harrell is expected to start Saturday against his former team -- the White Sox. Harrell beat Chicago last season, despite allowing five runs on six hits in 7 1/3 innings.
