HOUSTON -- With veteran right-hander Scott Feldman expected to miss six weeks following knee surgery performed Friday, left-hander Brett Oberholtzer will return to the rotation and start Monday's game against the Orioles at Minute Maid Park.
Oberholtzer was pretty much a shoo-in to make the rotation out of Spring Training, but suffered a blister that put him on the disabled list. He made one start for the Astros on May 13 against the Giants but only lasted three innings when the skin covering his blister came off. The lefty made one rehab start and was going to make another for Triple-A Fresno when Feldman got hurt.
