Hunter Brown Begins Throwing Program
Houston Astros right-hander Hunter Brown (shoulder), who is on the 15-day injured list with a right-shoulder sprain, began his throwing program on Tuesday in Houston by playing catch from around 75 feet, according to Chandler Rome of The Athletic. Brown last made a start for the Astros on March 31 against the Boston Red Sox. It's a notable step in his recovery from his shoulder injury, but he still has a ways to go before he'll be ready to rejoin Houston's starting rotation. General manager Dana Brown said that Brown is expected to be back with the big-league club until around the end of May. The 27-year-old former fifth-round pick in 2019 out of Wayne State University will need at least several minor-league rehab starts to build his arm up next month. Before injuring his shoulder, Brown had carried over his brilliance from 2025, posting a 0.84 ERA and 1.03 WHIP with 17 strikeouts in 10 2/3 innings over his two starts. Brown needs to be stashed in an IL spot in all fantasy baseball leagues while he rehabs.
