    Astros placed José Urquidy (forearm) on the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: Urquidy had an MRI on his arm last week and it showed no structural damage, which is a good sign that he’ll be back on the mound for the Astros at some point this season. He’s expected to throw in the next week or so and if everything looks like it should, he could be back in Houston’s rotation by late April or early May. Rotoworld 33 minutes ago

  • Astros place Bennett Sousa (shoulder) on 15-day IL
    Astros placed Bennett Sousa (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: The 28-year-old is dealing with left shoulder inflammation, so it’ll be interesting to see how long Sousa will be sidelined. He spent time with the Astros and Brewers last season where he posted a 9.00 ERA across 23 innings and will be a depth relief piece for Houston in 2024. Rotoworld 33 minutes ago

    Advice: He suffered the injury during an appearance in a minor-league game in mid-March. Urquidy hopes to be cleared to begin a throwing program before long. Even if that happens, he's unlikely to be ready before the end of April. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago

  • Placed on injured list
    The Astros placed Sousa on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 25, with left shoulder inflammation, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: It's not clear when Sousa suffered the injury, but it will keep him out for at least the first couple weeks of the season. The left-handed reliever should be in the mix for a spot in the bullpen once he's healthy. Rotowire.com 38 minutes ago
