Team	Notes
Astros	Javier has had a rough May thus far. In three starts, he has allowed 11 earned runs across 17 1/3 innings (5.71 ERA). Javier took a step in the right direction last time out, allowing three runs across seven innings with six strikeouts against the Rangers.
Athletics	Manaea is looking to bounce back from a rough outing against the Red Sox in which lasted just two-plus innings and allowed seven runs on 10 hits. The left-hander fared well in his last start against Houston on April 9, limiting the Astros to one run over six innings.
