J.P. France Progressing In Rehab From Shoulder Surgery
Houston Astros right-hander J.P. France (shoulder) underwent surgery on July 1 of last year to fix a torn right shoulder capsule, a procedure that came with a recovery timeline of 12 to 14 months. Monday marked France's final day of throwing at 75 feet, and he will move back to 90 feet on Wednesday. "It's been going good," France said. "I haven't had any setbacks, knock on wood. Every day I throw and there's really no soreness, no pain. Everything's been going good without a hiccup." The former 14th-rounder in 2018 out of Mississippi State had a rough 7.46 ERA in his five starts last year before being sent to the minors and eventually shut down He went 11-6 with a 3.83 ERA in 24 games (23 starts) in 2023, but he'll remain in rehab mode at the team's spring complex in Florida until May, so he will not be ready for the start of the 2025 regular season.
