After a 3-1 loss to the Los Angeles Angles on Sunday, the Astros stand 2.5 game ahead of the Oakland A’s. They will travel to Kansas City to open a four-game set on Monday at 7:10 p.m., with Jake Odorizzi hitting the bump.

Kyle Tucker is also expected to rejoin the club sometime this week, as he sits on the injured list due to the health and safety protocol. The organization added Bryan Abreu, Brandon Bielak and Robel Garcia to the taxi squad as a precaution.
