Mike Burrows Suffers Setback with Shoulder Inflammation

Astros pitcher Mike Burrows, already on the injured list with right elbow neuritis, has suffered a recovery setback. An MRI on Tuesday confirmed he is now dealing with shoulder inflammation. This dual injury status led the team to recall Ronel Blanco for a start rather than activating Burrows. The news, confirmed by manager Joe Espada, highlights a significant complication in his return to the mound.
