On April 25, Astro's rookie pitcher, Tatsuya Imae, hit a key milestone in his comeback from the injured list. The Japanese right-hander through his second bullpin session, and manager Joe Espada says he's ready for a rehab assignment next. He landed on the 15-day injured list back on April 12 with right arm fatigue. Imae got through his first bullpin work on Monday without issues. Espada sounded pumped about it, noting Imae feels strong and his arm looks solid again. The skipper called it, good news all around for the young hurler. They plan to start with just one rehab outing to test him out. Then decide the next moves based on how he reforms. Imae joined the Astro's this offseason on a 3-year, 54-million dollar deal after shining with the Sabu Lions in Japan. He's sitting at 1-0 with the 7-2-7 ERA over three stars this year, and fans are hoping this rehab path gets him back dominating soon. From around the league, powered by AI, this is MLB News Today.
