Fans season-high eight Sunday
Javier did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Athletics, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out a season-high eight over four innings.
Analiz
Javier generated an impressive 21 whiffs while throwing 56 of his 90 pitches for strikes and set a season high by punching out eight. He kept the Athletics scoreless through four innings, but when he returned for the fifth, the right-hander allowed a leadoff single and a walk before Brian Serven launched a three-run homer that chased him from the game. Javier has not seen much improvement since returning to the rotation, posting a 5.68 ERA with a 0-3 record across four starts. He owns an inflated 6.47 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 38:19 K:BB across 40.1 innings this season and is slated to face the Mets on the road Saturday.

Falls to Angels
Javier (1-4) allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five over four innings to take the loss versus the Angels on Tuesday.
Analiz
Javier was skipped the last time through the rotation. He has now lost three straight starts, allowing nine runs, including four home runs, over 15 innings in that span. He's at a 6.44 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 30:17 K:BB across 36.1 innings through 11 appearances (seven starts) on the year. Considering the Astros are on shaky ground -- they lead the AL West despite a 63-63 record -- Javier's spot in the rotation is far from secure. He's tentatively projected to make his next appearance at home versus the Athletics.
