Closer Jose Valverde rejoined the Astros on Friday at Chase Field, declaring himself ready to be activated from the disabled list Saturday.

“It feels great,” said Valverde, who had been on the DL since April 27 recovering from a right calf strain. “To be out for five weeks, it felt like I’ve been out almost a year.”
