Pressly allowed one walk and struck out one over a scoreless inning in Wednesday's spring game against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

This was Pressly's first spring appearance. Both he and closer Roberto Osuna made their debuts, pitching the fourth and fifth innings, respectively. They are the back end of Houston's bullpen. Pressly is one of the best setup men in the league; if your league values holds, then Pressly's your guy. He tied for the MLB lead with 31 holds in 2019 and also picked up three saves.

Pressly (knee) is on the Astros' World Series roster.

EDGE Analysis

After leaving Game 6 of the ALCS with right knee discomfort, there was some uncertainty regarding Pressly's availability for the World Series. However, the 30-year-old should be available as Houston's setup man for the series against the Nationals after being included on the roster.

Pressly (knee) is expected to be on the Astros' roster for the World Series, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pressly left the final game of the ALCS on Saturday with right knee discomfort, a potential concern given that he underwent knee surgery in August. The Astros anticipate him being ready to go, but he's yet to be officially cleared.

Pressly (knee) said he'll be ready to pitch in Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday against the Nationals, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pressly exited Game 6 of the ALCS on Saturday with right knee discomfort, but he said some scar tissue in his knee came off, which was something he expected to occur at some point after undergoing knee surgery in August. The 30-year-old will now have Sunday and Monday to rest up after the Astros clinched their trip to the World Series with Saturday's walkoff victory.

Pressly was removed from Game 6 of the ALCS against the Yankees on Saturday due to right knee discomfort, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pressly delivered only one pitch but appeared to injure himself while fielding a grounder between the mound and first base. The 30-year-old underwent surgery on the same knee back in August, but it's unclear if he aggravated that injury or is dealing with a new issue. The Astros labeled Pressly day-to-day and his status for Sunday's Game 7, if it's necessary, remains up in the air.

Pressly allowed one hit and one walk while striking out three in the eighth inning to pick up the hold in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

This was Pressly's second outing since coming off the injured list and marked a return to his traditional role as the eighth-inning bridge to closer Roberto Osuna. In his first game back last Friday, he pitched the seventh inning while Will Harris worked the eighth. Pressly has struck out five batters in two innings of relief since his return.

Pressly worked a perfect inning while striking out two to record a hold in Friday's 6-4 win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Pressly returned to active duty Friday after recovering from knee surgery that kept him out of action since Aug. 20. He slotted back into his normal role as part of the setup crew for closer Roberto Osuna.

Pressly (knee) was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Astros have their setup man -- one of the best in the game -- back in time to shake the rust before the postseason begins. Earlier in the year, Pressly set a major-league record with his 39th consecutive scoreless appearance (dating back to 2018), but his performance was up and down over the summer as he tried to battle through his knee issue.

The Astros hope Pressly (knee) will get into a game this weekend against the Angels, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

That would give him a little over a week to knock some rust off before the postseason. Pressly had a 2.50 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 65 strikeouts in 50.1 innings prior to the injury. Despite that dominance in high-leverage spots, he only has two wins and three saves this season.

Pressly (knee) threw 20 pitches against hitters and took part in fielding practice prior to Tuesday's game against the Rangers, David Barron of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Astros will do their due diligence Wednesday and follow up with Pressly, whose next step could be a return to game action. The right-hander is recovering from Aug. 23 surgery on his right knee.
