| Player Notes |
| December 12, 2006 The Rockies picked up Taylor Buchholz from the Astros in the Jason Jennings deal. Buchholz was 6-10 with a 5.89 ERA (but a solid 1.25 WHIP) for Houston last season. He'll compete for a spot in the Colorado rotation, with Jason Hirsh - who goes to Colorado in the same deal - being part of the competition. |
| December 7, 2006 SI.com reported that the Jon Garland-to-Houston deal fell through because Taylor Buchholz failed a physical, but the Houston Chronicle and Buchholz himself dispute that report. "My shoulder's been great," said Buchholz, who also said that he hasn't taken a physical since spring training. |
| July 29, 2006 The Astros optioned Taylor Buchholz to Triple-A on Saturday, according to the AP. In 20 appearances (18 starts) for the Astros this year, Buchholz held a 5.96 ERA. |
| July 10, 2006 For the first time since receiving an anti-inflammatory injection Friday for his strained right middle finger, Taylor Buchholz threw on Sunday, according to the Houston Chronicle. "It's not as sore today as it was (Saturday)," said Buchholz. "Hopefully this injection will work its course. I think the earliest I can throw in a game is (Sunday)." |
| July 8, 2006 Taylor Buchholz aggravated his right middle finger during Thursday's game, according to the Houston Chronicle. "I think it's a strain," he said. "It's been bothering me for about 2 1/2 to three weeks. I'll see the doctors. They checked it before and said it's probably tendinitis or a strain. These three days off and the All-Star break will be nice for me." |
| June 18, 2006 Taylor Buchholz will remain in the Astros' rotation for now, though he won't be need until at least next Saturday, according to the Houston Chronicle. Manager Phil Garner opted to move Fernando Nieve to the bullpen, rather than Buchholz. |
| June 13, 2006 With Roger Clemens returning later this month, Taylor Buchholz will be battling Fernando Nieve for the last spot in the rotation, according to the Houston Chronicle. Buchholz has a 6.06 ERA in 13 games (11 starts) this year. GM Tim Purpura has said that there is a chance the pitcher who loses out on a rotation spot could be sent to Triple-A Round Rock to work as a starter, rather than pitch out of the Astros' bullpen. |
| April 22, 2006 Taylor Buchholz, making his second start of the season, gave up no runs on only two hits in 8 2/3 innings on Saturday to register his first major league win. Buchholz has a 1.80 ERA in four appearances this season. |
| April 17, 2006 Taylor Buchholz made his first major league start on Monday. He allowed two hits, two earned runs, three walks and struck out four in six innings. |
| April 14, 2006 After taking over for Brandon Backe early in Thursday's game, Taylor Buchholz will have his next start for the Astros bumped from this coming Sunday to Monday, according to the Houston Chronicle. |
| April 13, 2006 Taylor Buchholz had to relieve Brandon Backe Thursday after Backe left the game with an elbow injury. Buchholz threw 58 pitches in relief, so he might not be able to make his first major league start Sunday as planned. |
| April 12, 2006 Rookie Taylor Buchholz, who had his first career start pushed back because of Tuesday's rainout, will now be skipped on Thursday after Wednesday's game was rained out as well, according to the AP. |
| April 11, 2006 Taylor Buchholz had his first major league start wiped out because of rain Tuesday. Buchholz now may not make his first start until this weekend. |
| April 8, 2006 Taylor Buchholz threw 2 1/3 innings of scoreless relief in Friday's win over Washington. There is no need to worry if you own the rookie, he was just getting some work in before his start on Tuesday. |
| March 30, 2006 Astros manager Phil Garner confirmed that Taylor Buchholz could open the year as the team's fifth starter, according to the Houston Chronicle. "You wouldn't be wrong to assume that," he said. "And you can make that speculation. It might not work that way, but he certainly pitched well. I think of the participants this spring, his last two outings kind of showed he's pretty good." Nothing is set in stone yet, though, as Garner added that he's also still considering Fernando Nieve for the job. |
| March 28, 2006 Taylor Buchholz allowed just two hits in six innings of scoreless ball on Monday. Buchholz, who struck out five and walked one, is competing with Fernando Nieve and Carlos Hernandez for the final spot in the Houston rotation and appears to be the frontrunner. |
| March 4, 2006 Taylor Buchholz made a strong opening statement in his bid to land a spot in the Astros' rotation by throwing two scoreless innings Friday against the Indians, according to the Houston Chronicle. Buchholz retired six of the seven batters he faced, allowing only a two-out single by Aaron Boone in the second inning. |
