Friday on The A-Team with Adam Clanton and Adam Wexler, Chandler Rome joined the show to discuss concerns about Ethan Pecko not being fully ready, but the Astros need him now, putting pressure on the rookie to step up. He also weighed in on Steven Okert landing on the injured list with a hamstring injury, which is a major blow to the bullpen. Okert is understandably bummed about the setback but believes the injury is minor. He's arguably been the Astros' most important reliever this season, even ahead of Josh Hader, who has missed significant time. Finally, Rome discussed Peter Lambert being tired and not having overpowering stuff, making command especially important for him. As for Tatsuya Imai, reliability appears to be the major factor in the decision not to pitch him, though money could also be playing a role.

Closing out the series 2-1 against their American League rivals, the Astros now roll down the block to Citi Field to take on the New York Mets for the weekend.

Friday on The A-Team with Adam Clanton and Adam Wexler, The Athletic's Chandler Rome shared the latest on Jeremy Peña's hand injury and said he hopes to play tomorrow. Rome expects Mike Burrows to rejoin the rotation in New York as the Astros begin a stretch of 13 straight games, potentially leading to a six-man rotation.He also believes Peter Lambert is showing signs of fatigue after a career-high workload, though it's not necessarily cause for alarm—and the Astros can't afford to limit him much right now.Rome also discussed Yordan Alvarez, who isn't getting many pitches to hit with the lineup around him. The lack of home runs stands out, but otherwise, there's nothing particularly alarming with Yordan's recent stretch.
