Strom Returns to Houston Astros | MLB News

Houston Astros are bringing back pitching legend Brent Strom as a consultant, hoping his veteran insight can revive a struggling rotation. Strom, who led the Astros to three World Series from 2014-2021 and later helped Paul Skenes win the NL Cy Young with Pittsburgh, is set to be on the field for Friday’s game against the Mets. With the Astros’ ERA ranking 25th and starters posting the third-worst mark in baseball, manager Joe Espada sees Strom’s fresh perspective as crucial — he’ll be involved in meetings, pitching programs, and video analysis. At 77, Strom’s return marks a homecoming for the Astros, who’re clinging to a slim division lead and desperately need a turnaround.
