Otto allowed just two hits while striking out seven over five scoreless innings in a no-decision versus Houston on Friday.
The right-hander recorded a 3.20 ERA between Double-A and Triple-A to begin the season, but he was just about untouchable in his major-league debut. Unfortunately for Otto, Texas' bullpen let a four-run lead slip away in the seventh, denying the starter a win. The 25-year-old could be a candidate to stay in the rotation with Texas missing three regular starters on the COVID-19 injured list. If he gets another start, it would likely be a home date versus Colorado next week.
