Wandy is still waiting, most likely the Astros will turn to Brian Moehler to take Rodriguez’s spot in the rotation.
Cooper watched Moehler throw a three-inning simulated game Saturday afternoon against several Astros, including Geoff Blum, Jose Cruz Jr. and Brad Ausmus.
“We lined him up so he might be the guy to take the start if Wandy’s not ready,” Cooper said. “That would come next Thursday or Friday.” Link
