Hunter Brown to Make a Rehab Start on Sunday at Double-A
Houston Astros manager Joe Espada said that right-hander Hunter Brown (shoulder) will make a minor-league rehab start on Sunday at Double-A Corpus Christi, according to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. It will be Brown's first game action since last pitching on March 31 against the Boston Red Sox. He's currently on the 60-day injured list with a right-shoulder strain and won't be eligible to return to the big-league starting rotation until the end of May. Most likely, we won't see Brown back with the Astros until early June, but it could depend on how he fares during his rehab assignment. The 27-year-old former fifth-round pick in 2019 out of Wayne State broke out and was an All-Star for the first time in his career in 2025, going 12-9 with a 2.43 ERA (3.14 FIP), 1.02 WHIP, and 206:57 K:BB in 185 1/3 innings over 31 starts. Brown has quickly developed into a front-line starter and shouldn't be floating around on the waiver wire in any fantasy leagues. In his first two starts this year before injuring his shoulder, he had allowed only one earned run with 17 K's and six walks in 10 2/3 frames.
