Brian T. Smith of the Houston Chronicle reports that "all early indications" are that Lucas Harrell has been removed from the Astros' rotation. The club and Harrell have both yet to comment on it, but the right-hander was listed as being available out of the bullpen on Sunday. Harrell pitched well for Houston last season but has been a disaster this year, posting a 5.04 ERA and 1.61 WHIP. It's not clear who will take his rotation spot.
