SEATTLE. The Houston Astros are facing a considerable challenge in their roster due to a series of injuries affecting key players. The team announced this Monday the inclusion of Dominican shortstop Jeremy Pe\u00f1a on the 10-day injured list, due to a first-degree strain in his right hamstring. In addition, Japanese pitcher Tatsuya Imai was placed on the 15-day disabled list due to arm fatigue.<\/p>\n
Pe\u00f1a, who was forced to leave Saturday’s game in the fourth inning due to right knee discomfort, has had a complicated start to the season due to physical problems. Previously, he suffered a fracture in his right ring finger during preparation for the World Baseball Classic.<\/p>\n
Imai, for his part, showed difficulties in his last opening on Friday, where he could only get one out. The pitcher allowed four walks, hit a batter, and conceded three runs, evidencing control problems.<\/p>\n
Given these absences, the team has made several moves to its roster. Jayden Murray was sent to Triple-A Sugar Land, while J. P. France and Colton Gordon, along with infielder Shay Whitcomb, were called up.<\/p>\n
The situation is further complicated for Houston’s pitching staff, as Hunter Brown and Dominican Cristian Javier also went on the injured list last week, both with second-degree shoulder strains. This means that three of the team’s five starters on Opening Day are currently out of action.<\/p>\n
These injuries represent a hard blow for the Astros at the start of the season, forcing the team to readjust their rotation and roster depth as they seek to maintain their competitiveness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
