Ryan Pressly Plays Catch
4 months agoHouston Astros right-hander Ryan Pressly (back) was feeling better and played catch on Monday, according to manager Joe Espada. Pressly tried to pitch through a back strain for the past two weeks before the team finally placed him on the 15-day injured list this past Saturday. He has a 3.86 ERA and 1.41 WHIP in 46 2/3 innings this year but has given up 12 hits, five earned runs and five walks in seven innings in seven appearances since July 29. The 35-year-old's rough recent stretch before going on the IL coincides with his back injury, so the Astros will be hoping that he will be much better down the stretch out of the bullpen once he returns from the IL. Pressly will be eligible to come off the IL on Aug. 29, but it remains to be seen if he'll be ready at that date.
