The Astros optioned Whitley to Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Whitley allowed two unearned runs while striking out five over 2.2 innings in a couple appearances this week. He threw 48 pitches in Wednesday's blowout loss to the Reds, so the Astros will swap him out for a fresh arm.

Whitley was supposed to be an established big leaguer by now and one of the more dominant starters in baseball. Instead, he's been sidetracked by multiple injuries and control problems and has yet to make his major-league debut. Whitley made his season debut last July after completing his Tommy John surgery rehab but posted a 7.09 ERA with 25 walks in 33 Triple-A innings before his year ended with shoulder trouble. The good news is that the shoulder issue was deemed minor and the 25-year-old's stuff looked as it did when he was viewed as one of the top pitching prospects in the game. The upside with Whitley is still there if he can stay healthy and throw strikes, but it's been a while since he's done either with consistency.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Progressing through rehab
Whitley started for Single-A Fayetteville Wednesday and could move up to Triple-A at some point soon, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle.
ANALYSIS
Whitley tossed two shutout innings during Wednesday's rehab appearance, striking out two and allowing one hit. He threw 21 of his 29 pitches for strikes. He pitched two innings last week for the Astros' rookie-level Florida Complex League in his first game action since 2019. The 24-year-old had Tommy John surgery in March of 2021 after missing all of 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor-league season. Assuming his rehab progresses without any setbacks, it's likely Whitley will find his way back to Triple-A Sugar Land relatively soon.
