(MLB.com Houston Astros)

Astros starter Charlie Morton threw 47 pitches in four scoreless innings in his second rehab start for Triple-A Fresno on Tuesday, then finished the outing with 15 pitches in the bullpen. The right-hander is progressing and has returned to Houston, manager A.J. Hinch said, but it is unclear whether he will need a third rehab start.
