The Houston Astros' pursuit of a starting pitcher continues, as the team is reportedly among those that have been calling on Atlanta Braves right-hander Julio Teheran, as well as being linked to Oakland Athletics righty Sonny Gray.
Teheran has emerged as an alternative to the top available starting duo of Gray and Chicago White Sox southpaw Jose Quintana, writes Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports, noting that Atlanta hasn't "absolutely ruled out a trade for Teheran to this point."
In 17 starts this season, Teheran, 26, is 6-6 with a 5.
