Burrows Injury Halts Astros Plans | Houston Astros News

Houston Astros pitcher Mike Burrows was sent down to Triple-A Sugar Land but immediately placed on the injured list with right elbow neuritis, nullifying his minor league option. Struggling this season with a 5.99 ERA and 21 homers allowed in 94 innings since joining via trade, Burrows joins fellow offseason acquisition Kai-Wei Teng, who also had his minor league option reversed after a knee injury. Both were expected to handle heavier workloads, but injuries and poor performance may force the Astros to seek starting pitching help before the trade deadline.
