Hunter Brown Diagnosed with Grade 2 Shoulder Strain
Houston Astros starting pitcher Hunter Brown (shoulder) is looking at a lengthy absence after being placed on the injured list earlier this month. On Tuesday, it was announced that Brown has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 shoulder strain. The team will shut him down from throwing for a few weeks. It could've been worse, but this is certainly a tough blow to the Astros and for fantasy managers. Through two starts, Brown allowed one run while striking out 17 batters across 10.2 innings of work. The hope is that Brown is back to throwing in a few weeks, but he'll likely still need to go on a minor league rehab assignment. It's hard to imagine Brown being ready by the end of April, but we'll see how he progresses. In the meantime, Spencer Arrighetti figures to take over the vacant spot in the starting rotation.
