Astros' Mike Fiers: Sharp in return Tuesday

Fiers (hamstring) tossed four scoreless innings, allowing three hits and no walks while striking out five in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game.

Analysis:

After missing his last start due to hamstring soreness, Fiers looked sharp in his return Tuesday. He is competing for the final spot in the Astros starting rotation with Joe Musgrove, who has held the statistical edge throughout spring. There is still plenty of time for Fiers to improve his numbers, and the 31-year-old's strong outing Tuesday should help get things rolling.
