Astros: LHP Framber Valdez

Valdez, who was 15-7 with a 2.91 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP last year, makes his fourth consecutive Opening Day start, a club record for a lefty and the longest since Roy Oswalt started eight in a row (2003-10). He led the Astros in wins, innings and fewest homers allowed by a starter (13) in 2024 en route to earning AL Most Valuable Player (15th place) and Cy Young (seventh place) votes. Valdez has established himself as one of the top starters in the AL since joining the Astros' rotation in 2020, going 60-33 with a 3.12 ERA and 764 strikeouts in 781 innings over that stretch.

Framber Valdez says the Astros did not approach him this spring about a contract extension.

Asked if he expects to enter free agency after the season he said yes.
