| Player Notes |
| September 15, 2008 Journeyman Brian Moehler (11-6, 4.16) is 2-1 with a 3.00 ERA in six starts versus Chicago and 1-1 with a 2.12 ERA in three this season. Moehler has been either good or bad this year. There has been little in between. In his 18 starts since the beginning of June he has allowed one or fewer earned runs eight times -- and four or more runs eight times. |
| September 10, 2008 Brian Moehler improved to 11-6 on Wednesday night as he held the Pirates to just two runs in six innings of work. Moehler didn't strike out a batter but he also didn't walk one while allowing just five hits. |

| August 19, 2008 Houston RHP Brian Moehler wasn't especially dominant tonight, but he put the Brewers in a loss with an efficient outing off the mounth. Moehler pitched 5 1/3 innings, allowing two runs (only one earned) on nine hits with one walk and four strikeouts. |
| August 9, 2008 Astros RHP Brian Moehler was once again working as a force of reckoning for Houston this evening, supporting his team's 3-1 win over the Reds with a strong performance off the mound.

| July 13, 2008 The Astros team website reports that right-hander Brian Moehler will receive the first start after the All Star break. "Obviously, we all want Roy starting that game, because he's the ace of the staff," Moehler said. "It's just unfortunate that he's injured right now." Moehler will be followed in the rotation by Wandy Rodriguez and Brandon Backe in a three-game series with the Chicago Cubs. After the series with the Cubs the rotation is a question mark. The fourth spot will likely go to Runelvys Hernandez, who would be called up from Triple-A Round Rock. Oswalt could be ready to start Tuesday, the fifth spot in the rotation after the break, but that won't be known until next weekend. "He won't do any throwing until after the break," manager Cecil Cooper said. "There's no need." |
| July 8, 2008 Brian Moehler was dealing with a case of pink eye on Monday, according to the Houston Chronicle. Moehler said, "I woke up with it Sunday, and my wife knew right away it was pink eye. My kids get it a lot. Everybody just has to wash their hands a lot." |

| May 27, 2008 Brian Moehler has retained his spot in the starting rotation with four strong starts (2-1, 3.43 ERA, 1.33 WHIP in 21 innings). Chris Sampson will be demoted to the bullpen when Wandy Rodriguez is activated from the DL. "I'm not going to sit here and lie to you and say I'm not happy, because I am," Moehler said. "At the same time, I told Coop I'd be happy to relieve as well. My goal is to help get this team in the playoffs. This is my 11th year and I haven't experienced that yet." |

| May 11, 2008 Brian Moehler will get another start. He will work Wednesday against the Giants after tossing five scoreless innings versus the Dodgers on Friday. "I think he earned the right to do that," manager Cecil Cooper tells the Houston Chronicle. "He earned that opportunity." |
| May 10, 2008 Brian Moehler pitched five scoreless innings helping the Houston Astros to a 7-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night. The 36-year-old Moehler, filling in for the injured Wandy Rodriguez, allowed five hits and a walk while striking out five. |
| May 7, 2008 Houston RHP Brian Moehler completed his second simulated game today as he prepares to return to the mound as the Astros' starting pitcher on Friday, according to MLB.com. |
| May 4, 2008 Long reliever Brian Moehler threw a simulated game on Saturday and is preparing for the possibility of making a spot start in place of the injured Wandy Rodriguez, according to the Houston Chronicle. Rodriguez continues to feel discomfort in his ailing groin muscle, and if he isn't ready by Friday, a decision will be made. Manager Cecil Cooper said, "Brian Moehler threw kind of a simulated game. We just wanted to line him up in case he might have to be the guy here if we don't make any kind of move. He'd be the guy that would probably take a start. He's our long guy and he hasn't pitched a whole lot here recently, so it's a chance to get him the work and kind of line him up, so to speak, so if you need him to take that start maybe he's the guy that could potentially get it." |
| March 21, 2008 The main candidates for the final spot in the Astros rotation are Woody Williams, Jack Cassel and Chris Sampson, but Brian Moehler has thrown his name into the hat with a solid spring. "He's making a strong bid to be on our team," manager Cecil Cooper said on MLB.com. "I think at any time we need to, we can stretch him to three or four [innings] if we need to." Moehler is still considered a longshot for the rotation, but he could make the team as a long reliever that could be called upon when the team needs a spot starter. Either way, he's not going to make any noise in fantasy. |
| January 30, 2008 Brian Moehler agreed to a minor-league deal with the Astros Tuesday. The veteran held a 4.07 ERA in 42 games for the 'Stros last year, and he'll attempt to win a job as a swingman again this season. |
