Houston Astros reliever Josh Fields is nearly ready to be called up from Fresno after getting some extra work in at the Triple-A affiliate while recovering from a groin injury. According to Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle, Fields could be activated in the next couple of days, but needs to pitch on consecutive days before being called to join the team in Houston. Well, he pitched on Monday night in Fresno, going one scoreless inning while allowing a hit and a walk, and recording a strikeout.
If Fields pitches on Tuesday night for the Grizzlies, we could see Josh Fields joining the Houston Astros on Wednesday or on the off-day Thursday.
