Kaleb Ort will make his first minor league rehab outing with Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday.

Ort has been sidelined since spring training with a left oblique strain. He's expected to make multiple appearances with Triple-A Sugar Land before being called up by the Houston Astros, but his return to game action marks a positive step in his recovery.

Ort is continuing to work his way back from a left oblique strain. He has resumed throwing and could join the Astros bullpen by the end of April.

Astros manager Joe Espada said Kaleb Ort will open the season on the injured list.
