Wesneski Returns from 15-Month Absence with Winning Start
The Astros right-hander picked up a win in his first start since roughly early 2024, marking a significant return milestone.
Hayden Wesneski made his first starting appearance in 15 months and earned the win, according to Astros beat reporter Brian McTaggart. The lengthy gap between starts suggests Wesneski was sidelined by injury or roster circumstances for an extended period. His return to the rotation adds depth to the Houston pitching staff. This performance may influence how the Astros manage their starting rotation going forward.
