Cristian Javier Playing Key Role In Astros Bullpen
3 years agoHouston Astros pitcher Cristian Javier was moved from the team's starting rotation to the bullpen after making nine starts this year. Over the past two months, he's found himself playing a key role in the team's bullpen. He has four holds and a save since early June. He pitched 14.1 innings out of the bullpen in June and allowed four earned runs while striking out 19 batters. In July, he's pitched 6.2 innings so far and has allowed two earned runs while striking out 10. Javier has a chance to gain his spot in the rotation back, but he's clearly providing good value for the team out of the bullpen for now.
