Former major league pitcher Josh Beckett will make his television studio debut Tuesday night on Root Sports Southwest on the pre- and postgame shows for the Braves-Astros game.

Beckett, 36, from Spring, who had a 136-101 record from 2001 through 2014 with the Marlins, Red Sox and Dodgers, will work an undetermined number of games as a studio analyst this season, a network spokesman said. Mike Stanton, the network's primary studio analyst, and studio host Kevin Eschenfelder will spell Todd Kalas and Geoff Blum on game telecasts for about 15 games this season.

Art Howe also will continue to fill the analyst's chair for selected games this year.
