[SportsTalk 790] “We should get him back sometime this month. He’s pretty much pain free & making great progress. He had good activity yesterday in Houston. There’s a chance he could be back in the big leagues this month. We need him bad.” Astros GM Dana Brown on Kyle Tucker.	165
[Rome] The Astros are calling up Zach Dezenzo, sources tell @TheAthletic. He's played just 11 games above Double-A, but slashed .391/.472/.739 with eight extra-base hits in his brief stint at Triple-A Sugar Land. Now, he'll try to give the major-league team a spark.	163
[Rome] Justin Verlander was pleased after his 37-pitch live BP. He touched 94 mph and felt good. Verlander said he’ll need two rehab starts before coming back to the major-league rotation.	125
[Rome] Luis Garcia walked in today feeling better. Joe Espada said the team took imaging on his elbow and everything is fine. Garcia still isn’t throwing, but it’s relatively good news.	111
[McTaggart] On the team’s pregame radio show on @SportsTalk790, GM Dana Brown said “We may have to call a young guy up from the Minor Leagues" to play 1B. He mentioned Whitcomb and Dezenzo as possibilities to give Singleton a breather. Whitcomb played at 1B on Saturday.	88
[LaLima] Astros GM Dana Brown says Justin Verlander will start "Friday or Saturday in Sugar Land". Brown also mentions there's no timeline on Luis Garcia who has been shut down from throwing.	86
[Rome] Justin Verlander will throw a live batting practice on Sunday. If that goes well, Verlander will then go on a minor-league rehab assignment. Joe Espada said Verlander will need more than one minor-league rehab start.	72
[Rome] Something else from tonight: Ryan Pressly’s $14 million club option for next season vested with his appearance. Tonight was his 45th appearance, which means he’s made 110 appearances combined between last year and this year.	61
[Morales] Justin Verlander will throw live bp tomorrow and if all goes well, will begin a rehab assignment.	1
