Bennett Sousa Lands on Injured List with Grade 1 Oblique Strain
Houston Astros relief pitcher Bennett Sousa (oblique) has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 oblique strain, according to Chandler Rome of The Athletic. He was placed on the injured list but is not expected to miss more than the minimum 15 days. Sousa was a key part of the Astros' bullpen in 2025, posting a 2.72 FIP with 10.48 K/9, 2.66 BB/9, and 0.71 HR/9 over 50.2 innings of work. He also recorded four saves. Sousa didn't pitch in a 2026 regular-season game before landing on the IL, but he did throw three innings of one-run ball in spring training. Without consistent save opportunities, Sousa isn't on the fantasy radar. Still, Astros fans will patiently await his return to the bullpen, given how well he pitched last year.
