5 critical factors tied to Gerrit Cole's hamstring
POINT BLANK PRESENTED BY FITZ ROOFING
15 August 2019
Houston received a scare when Gerrit Cole was scratched from his start earlier this week because of a sore hamstring.
Astros manager A.J. Hinch recently said he expects Cole to be ready to pitch next week, and Cole's injury wasn't serious.
ESPN 97.5's Joel Blank weighs in on when Cole should return to the mound, and why coming back too soon could be a big mistake. Point Blank is presented by Fitz Roofing.

Nick Chubb has officially passed his physical and joined the Texans for mandatory minicamp on Tuesday — and with that, Houston’s running back room just got a lot more compelling.
In this episode, we dive into what Chubb’s arrival could mean for the entire backfield, starting with Joe Mixon, who was reportedly in a walking boot this offseason. With questions swirling about health, roles, and long-term upside, the Texans suddenly have a lot to sort out in one of the league’s most intriguing RB rotations.
We explore whether Chubb is a true upgrade over Mixon, if the Texans are making a smart bet on his comeback, and how much of his 2024 production can be chalked up to injury recovery. Plus, we break down how Dameon Pierce fits into all of this — and who might ultimately be the best option behind a potentially limited Mixon.
Texans fans — is Nick Chubb the X-factor this team needs, or just another name in a crowded backfield? Let’s get into it. ESPN Houston's Jeremy Branham and Joel Blank break it all down!
