Ole George hit two bombs in the AA Texas league all-star game last night 
Correa was pulled in the 4th at QC after getting hit in the hand (no updates that I know of).
Vince Velasquez threw 5 shutout innings, allowing 2 hits and fanning 8 in the QC win.
Good times are coming for the Astros.....
Also five astros were on Baseball Prospectus' new top 50 prospect list:
16. Correa
18. Appel
30. Springer
36. Singleton
49. Foltynewicz
Honorable Mention - McCullers

Maxwell went down with an injury last night. Total shocker there.
RedHawks First baseman went 1-4 with no K's. Had a base clearing 3B.
The pitching seems to be regressing again.

The 5th installment of the Brett Wallace experiment will save us with his .040 BA this time around.

Mike Foltynewicz, RHP, Illinois HS: Foltynewicz flew under the radar for a few seasons but the hype is starting to build -- and it's easy to see why. The right-hander's velocity has crept up in the past year and he's been clocked as high as 98-100 mph in recent starts. Only 21, he opened the 2013 season in the offense-padding launching pad in Lancaster (High-A) and held his own before a promotion to Double-A in early May. Since that time, hitters have batted just .157 against him, and he has a 1.41 ERA in nine appearances. Brian T. Smith of the Houston Chronicle recently took a look at Foltynewicz and highlighted both his talent and his drive to succeed. "Everybody knows what kind of power and strength he's got... But the encouraging part is since he's been here we're starting to get better down location, OK, and his breaking stuff and changeup (are) really coming along really nice... you won't find much better talent than he's got."

Meh I don't see it happening. Maxwell would probably be placed on the 7 day concussion list and we would see someone like Paredes or Grossman promoted for a short time. They haven't shown a willingness to rush Springer and his stint would likely be short. No sense in starting his clock.
Oh and Preston Tucker has been promoted to Corpus to fill Springers spot.

Let it be known, his name is a clusterfrick to spell. Thus, we call him Folty.
