Hey guys, it’s Ari Alexander with the Houston Astros, who start a road trip to Los Angeles, St. Louis and Arlington.

The Houston Astros are expected to call up first baseman/outfielder Bligh Madris ahead of Friday’s series in Los Angeles against the Dodgers, multiple sources told KPRC 2.

Highly touted Pirates shortstop prospect Oneil Cruz is leading the charge of young players that the club hopes to build around.

Newly promoted Oneil Cruz drove in four runs and Bligh Madris got three hits in his major league debut, sparking the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 12-1 romp over the Chicago Cubs.
