MIAMI – Like many Astros fans, right-hander Spencer Arrighetti is fired up about Carlos Correa’s return to Houston. Arrighetti grew up in the Houston area and went to games at Daikin Park, and he has fond memories of the many big hits and outstanding defensive plays Correa made during his first stint with the Astros.

Arrighetti is set to come off the injured list Wednesday and take the mound against the Marlins at loanDepot park – his first start since April 5 – and he will be able to look over his shoulder and see Correa playing third base. It’s another one of the moments early in his career that Arrighetti calls “surreal,” even though he has had a relationship with Correa for a few years because they work out at the same place.

Cristian Javier pitched 3 2/3 innings of one-run ball for Triple-A Sugar Land at Sacramento on Tuesday night, throwing 77 pitches (43 strikes) in perhaps his final rehab start. He could rejoin the rotation next week. Fellow right-hander Luis Garcia, who has been out since 2023, could be coming not long after that.
