Return of "The Rocket"

Roger Clemens agreed to terms Wednesday on a one-year deal with the Astros to come back for a 23rd season, or at least the remaining four months of the current season. The seven-time Cy Young Award winner ended his seven-month retirement by accepting a deal that will pay him approximately $14 million -- the pro-rated value of a $21 million seasonal contract -- to pitch for the Astros for the balance of the current season. Clemens' arrival couldn't come at a better time for the Astros, who are 8-14 in their last 22 games. Houston's offense has been inconsistent but the Astros are also in dire need of more pitching.

Schedule for the Rocket's Relaunch:
June 6 Class A Lexington
June 11 Double-A Corpus Christi
June 16 Triple-A Round Rock
June 22 Houston Astros
