The Houston Astros are down a member of their rotation, likely until Brett Oberholtzer is set to return from injury. In the interim, Sam Deduno will be making a start on Friday against the Seattle Mariners, and Oberholtzer will likely be making another rehab start in four day’s time. Using the long man in the bullpen, Deduno, as a spot starter could put added pressure on the bullpen, but with how the Astros have been rolling along lately, this is likely one of those “we’ll cross that bridge if we get to it” scenarios.
