The Houston Astros option right-handed pitcher Mike Burrows to Triple-A Sugar Land following a difficult start in which he allowed 10 runs in a 12–11 loss to the Washington Nationals. Multiple reports say the move occurs a day after the outing and reflects a recent roster decision by the team. Burrows, 26, enters the season with a record of 4–9 and a 5.99 ERA, and he is among the league leaders in losses. The reports also note that he has allowed 21 home runs, tying him for third in the majors in that category. This season, he has pitched 94 2/3 innings for Houston. One outlet adds that Burrows was previously on schedule to pitch the Astros’ final game of the first half against the Texas Rangers, indicating the option came as a change from the prior plan. Another report describes the team’s subsequent related roster handling but does not dispute that the central action is the demotion to Triple-A after the Nationals game.
