Collin McHugh returning to Astros' rotation
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Their rotation was so deep last year that the Astros didn't need a sixth starter until their 126th game, when Brad Peacock took the ball at Seattle. Lance McCullers Jr. injured his elbow two weeks prior, and Houston was finally forced to give the ball to a starter who wasn't Justin Verlander, Gerrit Cole, Dallas Keuchel, Charlie Morton or McCullers. In the bullpen, meanwhile, was former 19-game winner and career starter Collin McHugh, who became the odd man out of the rotation when the Astros traded for Cole in January 2018. McHugh was moved to the bullpen and flourished, posting a 1.99 ERA and 0.91 WHIP in 58 appearances.

Astros open 2019 Spring Training
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- When you have this many stars and this much talent, you can't help but have visions of playing baseball deep into October. And considering it was only a year ago the Astros were talking about defending their World Series title, their window to win another one remains wide open. Those crisp late October nights are a long way from the sun-splashed back fields of Ballpark of the Palm Beaches, where Astros pitchers and catchers reported Wednesday morning with their gear and expectations in tow. Spring Training is underway for the Astros, a loaded club that followed up its 2017 World Series championship with a club-record 103 wins last year.

Gerrit Cole wins arbitration case vs. Astros
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- All-Star right-hander Gerrit Cole won his arbitration case against the Astros, sources told MLB.com on Wednesday, meaning he will make $13.5 million this season. The team offerred $11.425 million, a difference of $2,075,000. Cole will double his salary in '19. He made $6.75 million last year in his second year of arbitration. He will be a free agent following this season. In his first season in Houston last year, Cole finished fifth in the AL Cy Young Award race after going 15-5 with a 2.88 ERA, 276 strikeouts in 200 1/3 innings, a .198 opponents' average and a 1.03 WHIP.

Marwin Gonzalez missed in Astros' clubhouse
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- The reality is setting in for Astros star second baseman Jose Altuve, who's shared a clubhouse with close friend Marwin Gonzalez for the previous seven springs. They became confidants on and off the field, which is what makes this spring so strange. Gonzalez, whose locker has typically been next to Altuve's during the spring and regular season, remains an unsigned free agent, along with pitcher Dallas Keuchel, another longtime teammate. That leaves Altuve and Brad Peacock as the only remaining members of the Astros' 111-loss season of 2013.

Astros' Opening Day roster prediction
HOUSTON -- There won't be many roster battles when the Astros open camp later this week, and they won't be decided until the final days of the team's stay in West Palm Beach, Fla. Houston has an open competition for its fifth starter spot heading into Spring Training, and the club also has to sort out a crowded outfield and the final spots in the bullpen. A look around the diamond reveals All-Star-caliber players at many positions, including former American League Most Valuable Player Jose Altuve at second base, 2018 All-Stars George Springer in center and Alex Bregman at third base and former Rookie of the Year Carlos Correa at shortstop. Starting pitchers Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole finished in the Top 5 in the AL Cy Young Award voting last year.
