The Astros have slowed down the throwing program of Brad Peacock this spring after he felt some nerve pain in his neck. This setback may have him on the outside, looking in when it comes to the group of pitchers vying for the last two starting spots.
This is an all too familiar situation for Peacock after missing nearly the entire second half of the season last year. Peacock was placed on the Injured List back in late June of 2019 for discomfort in his right shoulder. After a setback in his rehab, Peacock finally rejoined the team and pitched his first game on August 20th.
