Justin Verlander is playing catch right now at Minute Maid Park. Other than to say he's on an every other day throwing program, the Astros haven't given any substantial update on his condition.

Hey fans, Constellation Field is currently without power. We are preparing the stadium to play, but will have an update this afternoon in regards to tonight's game being played pending if power is restored. pic.twitter.com/Jk9iaPNU0K

If the power comes on today I can go to the game. If it doesn't, we are taking the baby to the in laws and I'll have to miss it

First game to go to since she's been born so of course it would get messed up

Looking at a few more days with no power here apparently. No generator. Food has already spoiled. Super hot outside. Fun stuff

Eight out of nine with an OPS over .700 isn't bad. C'mon Chas!

One of the main reasons I moved from Northern Galveston County. Having to rebuild two different houses from two different tropical storms / hurricanes costs a lot of money.

Justin Verlander said “hopefully soon” for when he might be able to throw from a mound. He said he’s now playing catch more than every other day.

Asked if he’s been able to pinpoint what this is, Justin Verlander gestures toward the trainers room and said “that’s a medical staff question.” The Astros do not make their trainer available for interviews. https://t.co/IW15ZlerT5

Lance McCullers Jr has been shut down after his arm wasn’t responding well between bullpen sessions, Joe Espada said. McCullers won’t throw for a few days while the team formulates a plan for what’s next.

At this point he should just learn to throw left handed. That's how long its been.

You would think so. Somewhere someone screwed up and his whole career just fell apart.

Craig Biggio spent his entire @MLB career with the @Astros. That almost wasn’t the case.

Of his free agency after the ’95 season, Biggio told me recently, “I was minutes away from being a Rockie. That’s how close it came.”

Listen to the full story from Biggio in the next…
