July 13, 2025 6:28 PM : France (shoulder) tossed a live batting practice session Wednesday, MLB.com reports.
Analysis: France has been facing live hitters for nearly a month, but the Astros haven't yet provided an update on when he might be ready to embark on what will likely be an extended minor-league rehab assignment. The right-hander has been out all season while recovering from last July's surgery to repair a torn shoulder capsule.
