Ronel Blanco (SP) of Houston Astros Uncertain for Next Start Due to Elbow Soreness

Ronel Blanco's elbow soreness could affect his participation in the upcoming game against the Tampa Bay Rays on May 21, 2025. Blanco has pitched in nine games this season, with a 3-4 record and an ERA of 4.10. His recent home game performances show an ERA of 2.59, making his potential absence significant for the Astros' rotation.

Without any previous injury records, Blanco's current condition is a new concern for the team. The Astros might have to rely on other starters like Framber Valdez or Hunter Brown if Blanco cannot pitch. Blanco has maintained a streak of scoring 24+ FanDuel points in five straight games, highlighting his recent contributions to the team's performance.
