Ryan Gusto to Start Friday Against the Athletics

Ryan Gusto's return to the starting rotation provides an opportunity for the Astros to solidify their pitching options. Previously a consistent starter since late May, Gusto was moved to the bullpen before the All-Star break. His recent relief appearances saw him pitch 6.1 innings, allowing two earned runs on six hits, and two walks, while striking out five. With McCullers sidelined, Gusto's ability to pitch effectively could determine his future role.

While the Astros have listed Hunter Brown and Colton Gordon as starters for the series against the Athletics, Gusto's start on Friday adds depth and flexibility to the pitching staff. His performance will be closely watched by fantasy baseball enthusiasts, as it may influence his value for the remainder of the season.

He is filling in for Lance McCullers, who is on the injured list with a blister.

In his last three relief appearances, he pitched 6.1 innings with a 2.84 ERA.
