Las Vegas at Fresno

This is the first game for Fresno as an affiliate for the Houston Astros. Brad Peacock gets his first game on the bump after having off-season hip labrum surgery.

Corpus Christi at Springfield

Kent Emmanuel will be the starting pitcher for his first taste of Double-A action. This will also be Carlos Correa's first game in AA.
