Looking at the Astros’ upcoming bullpen crunch

Following a successful rehab outing on Tuesday for the Corpus Christi Hooks on Tuesday, the Astros are inching closer to activating right-hander Ryan Pressly from the IL before their weekend series against the Orioles.

Ryan Pressly expected to rejoin the Astros today after throwing one inning last night for Double-A Corpus Christi. Expect Pressly to be activated for Friday's game at Baltimore.
