Astros Send Burrows Down After Rough Start | MLB News
Description
Houston Astros send struggling pitcher Mike Burrows to Triple-A after a brutal outing where he surrendered a career-high ten runs, highlighting his shaky season with a 4-9 record and 5.99 ERA. Manager Joe Espada stresses the need for Burrows to improve his strikeout rate and limit hard contact, despite his ability to throw strikes. Burrows, who was briefly moved to the bullpen, returns to the rotation but hasn’t found consistency. In his place, the Astros call up Alimber Santa, a solid rookie who helped pitch in a no-hitter earlier this year. The team hasn’t yet locked in a replacement for Burrows’ spot, leaving rotation plans uncertain ahead of the All-Star break.
