Astros Demote Starting Pitcher Mike Burrows to Triple-A After 10-Run Outing
Mike Burrows was sent down after a career-high 10-run outing, and Alimber Santa returns after posting a 0.71 ERA in eight games.
- On Tuesday, the Houston Astros optioned right-hander Mike Burrows to Triple-A Sugar Land, recalling Alimber Santa to fill the active roster spot.
- Burrows struggled Monday against the Washington Nationals, allowing a career-high 10 runs in a loss while holding a 5.99 ERA and sharing the major league lead in losses.
- Acquired in a massive three-team trade last December, Burrows has underperformed expectations. Houston manager Joe Espada said, "Something has to change with how he approaches some of these hitters."
- Recalled right-hander Alimber Santa brings a 0.71 ERA from eight games with Houston this year, including handling the final two innings of a combined no-hitter on his major league debut.
- The Astros are off Thursday, potentially delaying rotation replacements until after the All-Star break, while Espada indicated the team has not finalized starting pitching plans for the weekend series at Texas.
