the astros invited appel to spring training in 2014 as a non-roster player. appel underwent an appendectomy in january, which delayed his preparations for the 2014 season. he was reassigned to minor league camp, where he made his spring debut. he started for the astros in their final spring training game, throwing three scoreless innings against the rojos del águila de veracruz of the mexican league. the astros assigned appel to the lancaster jethawks of the class a-advanced california league at the start of the regular season. he struggled with his adaptation to the astros' tandem starting rotation, and went to extended spring training after four starts. after a month, he returned to lancaster. after pitching to a 2–5 record and a 9.74 era in 12 starts for lancaster, the astros promoted appel to the corpus christi hooks of the class aa texas league. jeff luhnow, the astros' general manager, noted lancaster's "hostile pitching environment", and stated that it was the astros' intention to have appel pitch in corpus christi in 2014 regardless of his performance in lancaster. appel finished the regular season with a 1–2 win-loss record and a 3.69 era in seven games for corpus christi. these struggles were attributed to command struggles and a low strikeout rate. the astros then assigned him to the salt river rafters of the arizona fall league after the season, where he had a 2.61 era and 24 strikeouts to eight walks in 31 innings pitched, while limiting opponents to a .167 batting average against.
