Astros righthander Matt Albers will be promoted from Class AAA Round Rock to start Friday night against the Milwaukee Brewers.

He was scheduled to start Tuesday for the Round Rock Express, but he started Monday instead so he can go Friday.

Albers was pulled after three innings Monday against the Iowa Cubs. He gave up four runs in that span, three in the first inning.

1-1 with a 6.23 ERA so far in this early season. I don't know if that counts the start mention.

It'll be interesting to see how he does.

Pitching problems already for the season. I hope this does not start a trend for this team.

It's been like a freakin' plague the last couple of years.
