Astros reliever LaTroy Hawkins is certain to be claimed by a number of clubs before his waivers expire at 1 p.m. Wednesday ET.
The Astros, however, will be inclined to pull him back, sources say.
Hawkins, 36, has a 2.03 ERA in 48 2/3 innings and a .645 opponents' OPS. The Astros want to re-sign him, knowing they could lose closer Jose Valverde as a free agent, weakening their bullpen.
Hawkins, too, is a potential free agent. He has enjoyed his time in Houston and is open to returning, according to a source with knowledge of his thinking.
