While a shoulder injury pushed Andre Scrubb to the 60-day injured list on August 10, the Houston Astros right-hander has begun throwing off a mound, as reported by Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle. Scrubb’s right-shoulder strain has sidelined him since July 19, as his 60-day stint has him eligible to be reinstated on September 19.
With minor-league options and a high upside, Scrubb wasn’t a victim to DFA over the last month. Command has been a struggle over the last year, but Scrubb’s injured list placement could’ve been a last resort, as he might not see a major-league mound again this season.
