The Astros have activated left-hander Bennett Sousa from the 15-day injured list, optioning fellow lefty Colton Gordon to Triple-A. Sousa, who missed part of 2026 due to a left oblique strain after ending 2025 with elbow inflammation, had a strong 2025 season with a 2.84 ERA. His return bolsters a Houston bullpen currently without closer Josh Hader, who is on the 60-day injured list. Gordon, ineffective in his major league debut, will serve as depth while Sousa aims to stabilize the struggling bullpen.
