Their starting pitchers ultimately didn\u2019t get the job done.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe Espada\u2019s rotation was in shambles throughout the season, losing key arms to injuries, including Hunter Brown, Mike Burrows, Hayden Wesneski, Christian Javier, and Tatsuya Imai.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In part due to injuries, the Astros saw 19 different pitchers make a start in 2026, further showing that their rotation was never able to get into a consistent rhythm this past season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shockingly, only two starting pitchers surpassed the 100-inning mark this year. Peter Lambert was a workhorse, logging 155.2 innings, while Brown barely cracked the century mark himself, logging a total of 107.1 innings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On a positive note, Lambert deserves more props for what he was able to accomplish this year. He single-handedly anchored the Astros rotation all season, while others either fought injuries or flat-out struggled to deliver quality results.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heading into 2027, the Astros rotation is currently projected to consist of five right-handers: Brown, Wesneski, Javier, Lambert, and Imai.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to create some balance and deception in the rotation, an offseason addition of Rogers or any other left-hander could be the perfect puzzle piece in Houston.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though the Astros found themselves in the postseason for the 10th time since 2015, the 2026 season didn\u2019t prove to be a smooth ride in Space City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Houston Astros Although the Astros saw respectable numbers from their offense this past season, that barely helped propel&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":909948,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[363,99],"class_list":["post-909947","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/909947","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=909947"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/909947\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/909948"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=909947"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=909947"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=909947"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
