Wojciechowski will compete for the fifth spot in the Astros' starting rotation this spring, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Wojciechowski, who missed all of last year's camp with a strained lat muscle, is healthy entering 2015 and will compete with Dan Straily, Roberto Hernandez, Brad Peacock (hip), Alex White, Jake Buchanan and Samuel Deduno for the final spot in Houston's starting rotation. The 26-year-old right-hander appeared in 15 games (14 starts) at Triple-A last season, going 4-4 with a 4.74 ERA. He'll need a strong camp to win the job over the veteran starters he's competing with.
