Of his 66 outings, 25 have spanned multiple innings. Only nine AL relievers have more multi-inning outings, led by Astros teammate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.houstonchronicle.com\/sports\/astros\/article\/aj-blubaugh-houston-bullpen-weapon-22414526.php\" data-link=\"native\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">AJ Blubaugh<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>De Los Santos has pitched mostly as a middle reliever for a bullpen that is missing one of its key set-up men in Okert, who is sidelined by a right hamstring strain.<\/p>\n<p>Okert is throwing on flat ground but has not thrown off a mound since the injury. Manager Joe Espada said Saturday the Astros hope Okert can throw from a mound this upcoming week. But given he might require multiple bullpens and to pass defensive drills, a regular-season return is in question.<\/p>\n<p>The Astros entered Saturday with eight regular-season games remaining and tied with the Rangers atop the American League West.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Houston Astros put reliever Enyel De Los Santos on the 15-day injured list with right knee tendinitis&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":441522,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[56,58,57],"class_list":["post-441521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/441521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=441521"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/441521\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/441522"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=441521"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=441521"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=441521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
