Houston Astros' starting pitchers José Urquidy and Cristian Javier are both set to undergo Tommy John surgery, significantly impacting the team's rotation. Urquidy, who was recently pulled from a rehab start, will see Dr. Keith Meister, the Texas Rangers team doctor, in Dallas for a second opinion on his injured forearm. The surgery for Urquidy, which will be his second Tommy John surgery, is expected to be season-ending. Meanwhile, Javier's surgery is scheduled for Thursday, with a recovery period typically ranging from 12 to 14 months. Astros General Manager Dana Brown confirmed the surgeries on Monday, marking a challenging period for the team as they look for pitching reinforcements.
