Impact Verlander has now pitched seven innings across his last two rehab appearances, allowing two earned runs in the process. His pitch count increased slightly from 52 pitches from his first rehab outing on Aug. 10 to 57 in Thursday's game. The 41-year-old right-hander will be re-evaluated Friday, and if all checks out, he could make his return during Houston's series next week against Boston.

Penn Murfee - Ready for rehab assignment Murfee (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Fayetteville on Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact Murfee has been on the shelf all season while recovering from July 2023 Tommy John surgery, but he's now ready to advance to the final phase of the rehab process after he tossed 25 pitches in a live batting practice session earlier this week. The right-hander is expected to require a handful of appearances in the minors before returning from the 60-day injured list and settling into a spot in the Houston bullpen, likely at some point in September.

Mauricio Dubón - Delivers winning hit Dubon went 1-for-3 with a walk, one RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Rays.
Impact Dubon entered the contest just 2-for-27 over his first 10 games in August. His hit -- which was the Astros' second of the game -- plated the initial runner in the 10th inning. For the season, Dubon is slashing .253/.282/.363 with four home runs, three steals, 35 RBI and 38 runs scored over 307 plate appearances. His versatility, along with Houston's lack of left-handed-hitting outfielders, has helped to keep Dubon in the lineup more often than not despite his recent slump.

Jeremy Peña - Goes deep again Wednesday Pena went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Rays.
Impact Pena has found his power with three homers over the last four games, and this was the first time in that span he's failed to record multiple hits. The shortstop is up to 12 homers on the year, including five since the All-Star break. He's added a .278/.322/.405 slash line with 56 RBI, 61 runs scored, 13 stolen bases, 20 doubles and one triple over 118 contests.

Josh Hader - Grabs extra-inning win Hader (5-6) struck out three over two scoreless and hitless innings to earn the extra-inning win over the Rays on Wednesday.
Impact Bryan Abreu gave up the tying run in the eighth inning, but Hader was sterling in the ninth and 10th frames to extend his scoreless streak to 8.1 innings. He's allowed just three runs over his last 15.1 innings, all of which came in a single appearance July 29 versus the Pirates. Hader is at a 3.48 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 82:18 K:BB while converting 26 of 27 save chances through 54.1 innings this season.

Ronel Blanco - Hit by comebacker Blanco was removed from his start Wednesday against the Rays after getting hit in the left index finger by a comebacker, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.
Impact Blanco reported soreness in his finger after getting hit in his left (non-throwing) hand by a 106-mph line drive off the bat of Brandon Lowe, prompting his removal after six shutout innings. Initial X-rays came back negative after the game, however, so it appears the 30-year-old righty managed to escape without suffering a significant injury. He's lined up to start against Boston on Tuesday, though the Astros will likely keep an eye on his finger up until then.

Jeremy Peña - Homers in win Pena went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Rays.
Impact Pena's sixth-inning solo shot off Shane Baz proved to be the difference in Houston's eventual one-run victory. The 26-year-old shortstop has four multi-hit performances in his last five games -- he's gone 10-for-21 (.476) with a pair of homers and a 1.310 OPS in that span. Overall, Pena's slash line is up to .278/.323/.400 with 11 homers, 55 RBI, 60 runs scored and 13 steals across 488 plate appearances this season.
