HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Astros placed right-hander Hayden Wesneski on the 15-day injured list on Thursday with right elbow discomfort.
Wesneski pitched four innings of four-run ball in Tuesday's 4-3 loss at Milwaukee. It was his first start since April 25.
The Astros skipped Wesneski’s previous turn in the rotation after he showed diminished velocity, but manager Joe Espada said he did not report any elbow soreness until Thursday.
“He called (athletic trainer Jeremiah Randall) and said his elbow was sore,” Espada said. “We decided to put him on the IL to make sure that we get him back on the mound healthy.
