Randy Wolf did not win over many Astros' fans in his debut with the club on Sunday against the Brewers. He lasted just 4.1 innings and gave up seven hits while walking three. The Brewers scored four times on him.Wolf was not a very good pitcher on a team where pitchers tend to excel (San Diego) and does not figure to improve much with the Astros. We don't recommend him for the rest of 2008.

Wolf, acquired from San Diego on July 22, probably scripted his inaugural start with the Astros a little differently in his head. He had very little control, needing 105 pitches to get through the four-plus innings, only 63 of which he threw for strikes. With an ERA north of seven in five July starts, Wolf has pitched his way out of mixed-league consideration. His next start is scheduled for Aug. 2 vs. the Mets.

Randy Wolf is set to take the hill in his Astros' debut on Saturday against the Brewers, according to the Houston Chronicle. Wolf said, "Basically I’m going to go out there and do the best I can, do my job and try to get this hot team out."Wolf was 6-10 with a 4.74 ERA and 1.42 WHIP with San Diego this season, and could benefit from a fresh start with Houston, but not likely enough to make him fantasy worthy.

Clay Hensley will start on Thursday against the Pittsburgh Pirates in place of Randy Wolf, who was traded to the Astros Tuesday. It's his first start of the season.Hensley started 29 games in 2006 and posted a 3.71 ERA. As with all Padres pitchers, we expect good things from him in his home ballpark.

The San Diego Union-Tribune indicates that Clay Hensley will start in the Padres' rotation Thursday in place of Randy Wolf, who was traded to the Astros Tuesday.Hensley worked as a reliever over five brief innings, but had three strikeouts and only surrendered one hit, and is worth a look in NL-only leagues if you need help.

This spells big trouble for Wolf, who goes from roomy PETCO Park to cozy Minute Maid Park in the flash of an eye. Consider the stats: he thrived in San Diego this season, posting a 3.17 ERA, and got hammered on the road for a 6.63 ERA. The last time Wolf had to pitch his home games at a hitters' park was in 2006, when he surrendered more than two homers every nine innings for the Phillies. The short left-field porch in Houston won't be any kinder. This may be your last chance to get something of value for Wolf.

Triple-A pitcher Chad Reineke has been traded from the Astros to the Padres in exchange for starter Randy Wolf, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.The 26-year-old Reineke is 5-9 with a 4.41 ERA over 112 innings in the minors this season, but has fired 100 strikeouts. He has yet to pitch in a major league game, and isn't likely to make an impact if called up to the Padres this season.

Randy Wolf has been dealt from the Padres to the Astros in exchange for Triple-A pitcher Chad Reineke, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.He held a 6-10 record over 21 starts with a 4.74 ERA and 1.42 WHIP over 21 starts with San Diego, who have two pitchers set to return from the DL soon (Chris Young and Shawn Estes). He has been a disappointment so far with the Padres, but could still be viewed as an improvement to the back end of the Astros' rotation.
