France, and Spencer Arrighetti, who have been sidelined for various reasons. In addition, Hayden Wesneski will undergo Tommy John surgery.<\/p>\n\n<p>The addition of Colton Gordon represents an opportunity for the left-hander, who has shown good performance in the minor leagues. The team will continue to monitor Blanco&#8217;s condition to determine the severity of the injury and his recovery time.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tampa, FL \u2013 The Houston Astros have announced the inclusion of Dominican pitcher Ronel Blanco on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow inflammation.
