The Houston Astros place Kyle Weiland on the D.L.
The Astros have placed 25-year old righty starting pitcher Kyle Weiland on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to April 22nd, due to right shoulder bursitis. Weiland has pitched in 3 games (all starts) for the Astros so far this year and he is 0-3 with a 6.62 ERA and a 1.76 WHIP. He has given up 24 hits (5 homers) in his first 17 2/3 innings, so he hasn’t been missing many bats. The Astros hope a little time off will help Weiland both physically and mentally.
