Astros first-rounder J.B. Bukauskas to start for Tri-City this week

Posted Aug 10, 2017
Astros' first-round draft pick J.B. Bukauskas will make his first start for short-season Class A-Tri City on Thursday in the New York-Penn League in Lowell, Mass. Bukauskas' workload will be limited in his first partial pro season because he's coming off a full collegiate season. The 20-year-old righthander from UNC made his pro debut in the Gulf Coast League on July 30. (Houston Chronicle)
