Burrows Dominates Rehab, Eyes Astros Return
22 Aug
Summary
- Mike Burrows impressed in recent rehab starts for Sugar Land.
- He pitched 9.0 scoreless innings, allowing only four hits.
- Burrows is expected to rejoin the Astros' major league roster soon.
Mike Burrows, a pitcher for the Houston Astros, is poised to rejoin the major league team following a strong rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land. Earlier in the season, Burrows struggled, posting a 5.99 ERA and a 1.53 WHIP during his time with the Astros.
After a period on the injured list for right elbow neuritis, Burrows returned to the mound on August 14, throwing 4.1 scoreless innings. His subsequent outing on August 20 saw him pitch 4.2 innings with only one hit allowed. Across these two appearances, Burrows accumulated 9.0 innings without surrendering a run, while giving up only four hits and striking out nine. His performance suggests he is healthy and ready to contribute.
Burrows' recent success in Sugar Land indicates he could live up to preseason expectations and provide a boost to the Astros as they compete in their divisional race. His return is anticipated soon, potentially strengthening the team's pitching rotation.
