Astros won't know for sure about Lowrie until Friday

The 25-Man roster has to be set by 4pm today, but silly rules like that don't apply to Jed Lowrie. The Astros can either leave him active, or DL him at any point. But that might not happen until Friday.

Luhnow:
We’ll take all the time he can. If we thought it was just going to be Friday-Saturday and he’d be back Sunday, we’d probably keep him active. But we probably won’t know all that information until Friday.”

Lowrie told McTaggart:
“You know what, it feels a lot better than I thought it was going to at this point. It’s only a week out and it feels like it’s been about two months. I’m very happy with the progress it’s made, and I think it’s just because it’s a muscle strain it’s about getting soreness and stiffness out.”
