Ripple effect of Hayden Wesneski's injury has an impact on the arms of these astros in the spotlight

Hayden Wesneski's upcoming elbow surgery threw a monkey key into the plans of the Houston Astros. Although Wesneski is not necessarily a starter on the front, he was eating some innings for Houston this season. Attention is now becoming two of the most inexperienced arms of Houston – Ryan Gusto and Colton Gordon – Ryan Gusto and Colton Gordon.

Both Gusto and Gordon try to prove that they belong in the big leagues. Gusto performed in 11 games with five starts for Houston, while he published .465 era with 32 punch -outs over 31 Innerings. Gordon started a game and admitted three runs with seven goals over 4 ⅓ Innerings that were recorded against the Kansas City Royals last week.

The triumphal return from Lance McCullers Jr. from the injured list did not provide that the Spark Houston coaching team was hoped for, and Spencer Arighetti is still on the IL. Christian Javier and JP France are far from returning, which means that the spotlight on the two newcomers from Houston will shine.

Gordon will be given the opportunity to prove that he hears a start against Tampa Bay Rays on Monday evening. After Gordon completely dominated the competition at Triple-A Sugar Land for the start of the season, he quickly learned that Major League racket was a completely different animal.

The left -hander had an impressive ERA of 2.55 in eight minor League with a strike rate of 25.3. But his first start in the Bigs revealed some cracks that are confident that he is confident that he tidy up in Tampa before Monday evening.

The advanced metrics of Gusto did not suffer dramatically in terms of splits. As a starter, he posted a 9.28 k/9, 1.59 whip and 3.98 FIP. Gusto comes from the Astros bullpen and has a 9.31 k/9, 1.34 whip and 4.23 FIP. However, his era as a reliever (0.93) is much more impressive than with a start (6.33).

The loss of Wesneski is a big blow against the depth of the Astros, and Houston may require to turn back to AJ Blubaugh. However, his lack of success during his MLB debut seems to have had a wavy effect on his return to the minors. After his Big League debut last month, Blubaugh is 1-1 with a 9.88-e-for three starts at Triple-A Sugar Land.

Houston will need some of her young arms to climb the rest of the season and hope that their beginners will stay healthy at the front.
