Astros: 3 players that could be optioned for Jake Odorizzi

On Friday, Zack Greinke was scratched from his start because of neck soreness. The right-hander hit the 10-day injured list (retroactive to Tuesday), as the Houston Astros gave the start to Brandon Bielak. Also, Peter Solomon was recalled from the taxi squad to fill out the roster and join the bullpen.

Jake Odorizzi is scheduled to start on Sunday, as the right-hander currently sits on the 10-day IL with a foot injury. While the best idea is to wait until the day of his start to activate Odorizzi, the Astros have a few scenarios to evaluate.
