Astros: Rogelio Armenteros undergoes elbow surgery
The Houston Astros will be without pitcher Rogelio Armenteros for a few months.
The Houston Astros have lost some key pitching depth for the next few months. Right-hander Rogelio Armenteros underwent surgery on his right elbow to remove a bone spur. He’s expected to be out for around four months.
This news comes a few weeks after Armenteros was shut down from throwing early in spring camp. At the time, it was reported he was experiencing both elbow and shoulder soreness. He wasn’t expected to make the Opening Day roster, but now it looks like he won’t be contributing for several months.
