Astros Move Burrows, Call Up Santa | Houston Astros News

The Astros made a bold move this week, sending struggling pitcher Mike Burrows to Triple-A after he surrendered seven earned runs and a game-ending grand slam in a loss to the Nationals. In his place, they called up 23-year-old righty Alimber Santa, who’s been lights-out in limited MLB action with a stellar ERA. With Burrows’ season now marked by 21 homers allowed and a 4-9 record, the Astros are betting on Santa to stabilize their bullpen before the All-Star break — while Burrows gets a chance to regroup and prove he’s still got what it takes.
