Houston Astros – The Astros got their first look at their (non-Bedard) bullpen in a loss to the Rangers last night, and it wasn’t pretty, as five relievers combined to give up six runs in three innings. The only reliever to perform well was Josh Fields, who struck out the only batter he faced. Fields, a former first round pick, is coming off a solid spring, where he posted a 2.53 ERA over 10.2 innings. Lefthander Wesley Wright, meanwhile, is one of the team’s more experienced relievers, but will likely be used as a matchup guy regardless. Hierarchy change: Josh Fields to 2nd in line, replacing Wesley Wright.
