Hunter Brown - Goes distance in narrow loss Brown (6-2) pitched a complete game despite taking the loss versus the Rangers on Thursday, allowing one run on three hits while striking out nine without walking a batter over eig...
Impact Brown started with four perfect innings before giving up a double to Adolis Garcia in the fifth. Brown also allowed a solo shot to Jake Burger in the sixth, which was the lone run of the game. This was the fifth start in a row with nine strikeouts for Brown, who continues to be superb. He's allowed one run or fewer in six of nine starts, and he's logged eight quality starts on the year. The 26-year-old is now at a 1.43 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 67:14 K:BB over 56.2 innings. Brown will look to get back in the win column in his next start, which is projected to be on the road versus the Rays.

Brice Matthews - Lands on injured list Matthews was placed on the minor-league seven-day injured list after suffering a concussion Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact Matthews suffered the injury on a slide. It's unfortunate timing, as he had been showing significant skills growth with Triple-A Sugar Land prior to the injury. Notably, he had maintained a .269/.398/.462 line across his last 23 games.

Cam Smith - Not in Thursday's lineup Smith is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Texas.
Impact Following a stretch of four straight starts in right field, Smith has now been out of the lineup in consecutive games. Playing time for the rookie continues to be hit-or-miss over the last few weeks, and he hasn't helped himself by batting just .179/.319/.231 over the last 12 contests. Zach Dezenzo is in right field and batting ninth for the Astros on Thursday.

Tony Kemp, who spent nine seasons as a spark plug in places like Houston and Oakland, retires
Tony Kemp is calling it a career4 DAYS AGO • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Brice Matthews - Cutting Ks at Triple-A Matthews is slashing .269/.398/.462 with four home runs, eight steals, a 17.3 percent walk rate and a 23.5 percent strikeout rate over his last 23 games with Triple-A Sugar Land.
Impact Matthews hit for the cycle May 10 and all four of his home runs this year have come after April 15. He has also cut his strikeout rate after striking out 35.5 percent of the time in the first 14 games of the year. Matthews is the Astros' second baseman of the future, provided he makes enough contact at the highest level. He has a low chase rate (19.9 percent), but his 65.4 percent contact rate and 14 percent swinging-strike rate are poor marks.

Colton Gordon - No-decision in major-league debut Gordon didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Royals after allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks in 4.1 innings. He struck out three.
Impact Gordon mostly struggled in his major-league debut, yielding three extra-base hits and generating a mere two whiffs over his 85 pitches. It's unclear if the rookie left-hander will get another chance in Houston's current six-man rotation following Wednesday's shaky performance, but he does feature a strong 2.55 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 43:8 K:BB across 42.1 frames with Triple-A Sugar Land in 2025. Gordon's next outing tentatively lines up to come next week in a favorable matchup against the Rays, who have a poor .577 OPS versus left-handed pitching in their first 41 games.
