Oberholtzer (blister) on the comeback trail - Brett Oberholtzer (S) Houston Astros

Brett Oberholtzer (blister) will throw live batting practice on Monday.

Oberholtzer hasn't thrown BP since getting a blister last month. If Monday goes well, the next step will be a short rehab assignment. Oberholtzer didn't set the world on fire last season (5-13, 4.39 ERA in 24 starts) but he was good enough to hold down a spot in the rotation. Veteran Roberto Hernandez could be the odd man out when Oberholtzer returns to the bigs. Apr 18 - 4:33 PM
