Fields (groin) will make a rehab appearance at Triple-A Fresno this weekend, the Houston Chronicle's Evan Drellich reports. It appears like he is nearing a return to the Astros' bullpen, and that could happen as soon as next week. Luke Gregerson appears to have a pretty solid hold on the closer's role in Houston, and Fields should pitch in the middle innings to start.
