Tatsuya Imai

Tatsuya Imai is scheduled to make his second rehab start with Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday.

Imai landed on the 15-day injured list on April 13 due to arm fatigue. He made his first rehab start on April 28, allowing five runs on six hits across two innings, but he was able to hit 97 mph, which is encouraging. If all goes well in his next outing on Tuesday, he is expected to rejoin the Houston Astros rotation shortly after.

Astros manager Joe Espada said Tatsuya Imai will make another rehab start some time next week.

Imai struggled in his latest rehab start earlier this week. He'll likely make at least a couple more starts before he is activated.

Imai originally landed on the IL with "arm fatigue" back on April 13. He does seem to be progressing well, as he got through a successful bullpen session on Friday and will move to a rehab start on Tuesday. Imai's outlook should be updated following that outing.
