Mike Burrows - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Moved to 60-day IL The Astros transferred Burrows (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

Impact Burrows' move to the 60-day IL opens a 40-man roster spot for Jorge Barrosa, who was claimed off waivers from the Diamondbacks. While this transaction itself does not take Burrows out through the remainder of the regular season, he recently experienced a setback with his shoulder while rehabbing an elbow injury at Triple-A, and it's unclear at this point if he will make it back in 2026.

Tending to shoulder inflammation Astros manager Joe Espada said that Burrows (elbow) was diagnosed with inflammation in his right shoulder after undergoing an MRI on Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle...

Impact After covering 4.1 innings and 77 pitches in his third rehab start with Triple-A Sugar Land last Wednesday, Burrows looked primed to return from the 15-day injured list and slot back into the Houston rotation this week. However, with Burrows experiencing discomfort in his shoulder while playing catch Monday, he'll now have his activation from the IL delayed indefinitely. The Astros will likely have Burrows rest for at least the next few days with the hope that the inflammation subsides and he's able to start throwing again.

Serves up pair of homers in rehab start Burrows (elbow) struck out seven and allowed three earned runs on seven hits and two walks across 4.1 innings in his third rehab start with Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday.

Impact After looking dominant in his first two rehab outings with eight strikeouts and just four hits allowed across nine shutout frames, Burrows ran into a bit more turbulence Wednesday. He was at least able to handle a sizable workload, tossing 77 pitches (52 strikes) on the night while inducing nine whiffs. Though the Astros have an opening in the rotation for Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Ronel Blanco will be recalled from Triple-A to make the spot start, per Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. With that in mind, Burrows could be in line for another outing in the minors before returning from the 15-day injured list and potentially slotting into the Houston rotation.

Third rehab start on tap Burrows (elbow) will make a third rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Sugar Land, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wednesday's start should represent the final tune-up outing that Burrows requires before coming back from the 15-day injured list and potentially moving back into the Houston rotation. The 26-year-old righty has been exceptional during his first two appearances for Sugar Land, tossing nine scoreless innings while posting an 8:3 K:BB and giving up just four hits.

Another strong outing in minors Burrows struck out five and permitted one hit and two walks over 4.2 scoreless innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday.

Impact After submitting a 5.99 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in 18 appearances (17 starts) for Houston to begin the season, Burrows was on his way out of the big-league rotation before landing on the injured list July 13 due to right elbow neuritis. However, after posting an 8:3 K:BB while allowing just four hits over nine innings between a pair of rehab starts with Sugar Land, Burrows is looking more likely to get a look in the Houston rotation once he comes off the IL, especially with the Astros having received shaky results from a number of back-end starters in recent weeks. Burrows was able to build up to 78 pitches Thursday, so he shouldn't require another rehab start and would likely be able to handle a standard workload if he ends up rejoining the Houston rotation next week.

Making rehab start Friday Burrows (elbow) will make a rehab start for Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Burrows tossed 55 pitches over three innings at Houston's complex Saturday, and as previously reported, he'll make his next appearance at Triple-A. He figures to need at least a few rehab starts for Sugar Land, and he may remain in the minors once deemed healthy, as the Astros had optioned him to Triple-A Sugar Land on July 7 before later placing him on the injured list, which nullified the demotion.

Nearing rehab stint Burrows (elbow) threw 55 pitches over three innings at the Astros' complex Saturday and will next make a rehab start with Triple-A Sugar Land, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports...

Impact Burrows is progressing toward a return from right elbow inflammation, which has kept him out of game action since July 6. It's unclear how many rehab appearances the right-hander will make, but he had been slated to be optioned prior to landing on the IL, so Burrows may not be added back to the MLB roster once he's ready to be activated.

Completes live BP session Burrows (elbow) threw a 35-pitch live batting practice session Friday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact It's the first time the right-hander has faced hitters since he landed on the 15-day injured list in mid-July with right elbow neuritis. Burrows had initially been optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land before the injury was discovered, so he could head there once healthy rather than rejoining the big club.
