Javier is the second Astros player in the past five days to make it back to the rotation after an injury. Spencer Arrighetti, who returned on Wednesday after four months with a broken thumb, will pitch Tuesday's game, while Hunter Brown will pitch Wednesday.

Houston Astros right-hander Cristian Javier returned from Tommy John surgery and threw five innings to beat the visiting Boston Red Sox on Monday night.

Christian Walker homered for a third-straight game and the Houston Astros went deep four times in a 9-8 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday night.
