| October 31, 2007 Jason Jennings filed for free agency Tuesday. He picked a bad time to have the worst season of his career, as he made only 18 starts due to elbow problems and held a 6.45 ERA. Jennings underwent surgery to repair a torn flexor tendon in the elbow in late August and is expected to need six months of rehab time. He should be ready to go once the season rolls around, but he may have to take a short-term deal to prove he's healthy and can still pitch. |

"I threw almost 100 pitches last time [in Chicago]. I don't think my shoulder was quite ready for 100 pitches, and I was a little sore the next day. I'm kind of going through Spring Training right now and building arm strength. It's part of me trying to get back in game shape." |
| May 29, 2007 Jason Jennings is ready to start on Tuesday night. It will be his first big league outing since April 8, as Jennings has been on the disabled list due to right elbow tendonitis. "Hopefully I've built my arm back up to where I can finish off the rest of the year like the way I should with six, seven, eight innings every game," Jennings tells the Houston Chronicle. "That's the reason I was brought over here." The Astros host the Reds on Tuesday night. |

| April 30, 2007 Jason Jennings threw a bullpen session off the mound Sunday and integrated some breaking pitches for the first time since going on the 15-day disabled list, the Houston Chronicle reports. Jennings, battling elbow tendinitis, is probably at least a week away from coming off the DL. "Just trying to get command back and get the feel of it back and throwing where I want to," Jennings said. "I'll see how I feel (today) and Tuesday, but (Sunday) was pretty good. I can't be disappointed, I guess." |
| April 28, 2007 Jason Jennings threw a bullpen session yesterday, though he's not sure when he'll return from the tendinitis in his right elbow, according to the Houston Chronicle.

| April 27, 2007 The Astros have decided to not discuss a new contract with Jason Jennings during the season, according to the Houston Chronicle. Jennings can become a free agent after the year. "I guess we don't want to paint it as tabling it because of his (elbow) injury, but the more we talk we asked, 'Does it make sense to talk about something during the season?' " GM Tim Purpura said. "We all agreed rather than muddy the waters the first season with us, if we didn't do something in spring training we would wait until the end of the season." |

Jennings, who threw off flat ground for the fourth day in a row Tuesday, plans to limit himself to only fastballs today. "It will be a good evaluation for where I am and where I need to be," he said. "I've been doing exercises and so far so good, but the true test won't be until I get on the mound and start throwing breaking balls like I would in normal game-type situations." |
| April 23, 2007 Jason Jennings has played long toss each of the past two days, according to the Houston Chronicle. "I was fine," said Jennings, who is recovering from elbow tendinitis. "I'll try again tomorrow and hopefully be off the mound by the end of the road trip." |

Jennings is optimistic because he has dealt with the same discomfort since last June and because the MRI he underwent Saturday revealed no ligament damage. |
