Astros pitcher Jake Odorizzi fielded his position at Minute Maid Park on Sunday for the first time since his left ankle injury, one of the final steps preceding a minor-league rehab assignment.
Odorizzi went on the injured list after he strained tendons in his ankle while running to cover first base during his May 16 start. He threw multiple bullpens over the past few weeks and was increasing his running, but Sunday was his first time covering bases.
“When your injury happens doing something, usually the last thing to come is the movement that caused the injury,” he said. “So pushing off going full speed that way is a tougher movement than some of the other ones. But some of the other ones, the bunting stops, felt completely normal.”
