The Astros No. 17 overall pick in the 2016 MLB Draft and No. 1 prospect from 2018-'21, Whitley has dealt with multiple injuries including Tommy John surgery and a 50-game PED suspension during his 10-years with the organization. The former starter began exclusively working out of the bullpen in the minors last season, with impressive results.

Forrest Whitley’s long-awaited return to the mound didn’t last long, as injury woes continue to plague the once-hyped Houston Astros prospect.

Forrest Whitley is back on the injured list with a sprained knee. Kaleb Ort is activated to take his place on roster.
