Christian Walker, sidelined since March 2 with soreness in his oblique muscle, is expected to play in a spring game before Astros break camp.

The Houston Astros seem to have most of their Opening Day roster figured out, but one spot on the infield still remains a question mark. Longtime Astros second baseman Jose Altuve made the move to left field this offseason.

The Houston Astros’ offseason was defined by who they lost. Kyle Tucker and Ryan Pressly are on the Cubs, Alex Bregman is on the Red Sox, and Justin Verlander is on the Giants. But their one big addition could be huge for their offense.

Left-hander Framber Valdez was named the Houston Astros' Opening Day starter for a fourth time, manager Joe Espada announced Sunday.

Framber Valdez is going to make his fourth consecutive opening-day start for the Houston Astros. Manager Joe Espada told reporters that Valdez will take the mound when the Astros host the New York Mets on March 27.
