Astros recall RHP James Hoyt from Triple-A Fresno. RHP Jandel Gustave placed on 10-day DL with right forearm tightness (retro to April 19).

I'm nervous Gattis will be catching today due to the day game after a night game.

I'm trying to not enjoy the Rangers' struggles too much, but it's so fun.

AJ tinkering again. Maybe I need to look up Reddick's stats against Shoemaker, weird for him to not be in the lineup.

Who hit the ball last night better than Reddick and Gurriel? So, of course, they don't start today.

Also, Marwin...

Has Reddick had a day off since that KC series? That might be why with the day game following a night game. He's red hot though so it kind of sucks

I kind of see giving Gurriel a day off since he's probably 36. Sitting him right as he seems to be getting on track is also disappointing though

McCann should thank LMJ for forcing him to catch a day game after a night game.

No Reddick = stupid. I don't care who's pitching today.

Beltran in the two hole AND playing left.

Marwin at first over Yolanda.

Hunch definitely celebrating that 420.

No clue why Marwin is starting today. Again. Gurriel is fine and his hitting is starting to turn around, put him in there.

Yeah, me too..but wouldn't it be the Astros luck for Arlington to get hot right before they come to town.

Three things to know about this game

• Astros shortstop Carlos Correa said he expects to be in the lineup Thursday. Correa missed his third consecutive game Wednesday with a bruised right hand, suffered when he was hit by a pitch Saturday. Correa said he took 25 swings in the batting cage earlier Wednesday -- both off a tee and from flips -- and noticed marked improvement with the hand.

• McCullers couldn't keep the ball on the ground in his last outing, with 11 of the 15 batted balls against him being either a line drive or a fly ball, according to Statcast. That 73.3 percent rate is the righty's highest in a single game in his career (a minimum 10 batted balls).

• One matchup worth watching Thursday will be Shoemaker versus Astros second baseman Jose Altuve, who has batted .400 (8-for-20) with a double, two home runs, two RBIs and two walks in 23 career plate appearances against Shoemaker.
