| 9/09/25 | Astros to make J.P. France decision ahead of pivotal Blue Jays series. The Houston Astros came into the 2025 MLB season with plenty of injuries in the pitching staff, with Cristian Javier, Luis Garcia, Spencer Arrighetti, and J.P.

| 9/04/25 | Astros' Christian Javier accomplishes important feat while pitching to Aaron Judge. Cristian Javier's return from Tommy John surgery has been a study in reinvention, but Thursday in the Bronx he flashed something wonderfully familiar: pure, unfiltered gas. Working a 1-2 count to Aaron Judge, Javier reached back for 95.5 mph — his hardest pitch since returning — and dotted the top of the zone. Before the injury, Javier was baseball's poster child for the modern high fastball: average velocity, obscene carry, and a tunnel with a sweeper that made barrels disappear. Lineups eventually adjusted, and even Javier began pivoting before his elbow gave out, sprinkling in more changeups. Source: https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/houston-astros/astros... |

| 8/06/25 | How did Astros' Cristian Javier pitch in possible final rehab start?. It's a testament to the Houston Astros' resiliency as a franchise that despite the departures of some of their key players over the offseason and persistent injury woes plaguing the team, they still find themselves sitting atop the AL West with a 64-50 record. On Tuesday, the Astros took care of business against the Marlins, grabbing a 7-3 victory on the road.
