Astros right-hander Mike Burrows (elbow) will throw a bullpen session at the team's Florida complex on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Burrows is dealing with right elbow neuritis and was shut down for over a week. He will get back on a mound for a bullpen session on Friday, with how he feels on Saturday likely determining his next steps. Burrows has posted a 5.99 ERA in 18 appearances (17 starts) for the Astros prior to hitting the shelf.

Mike Burrows could resume throwing in 7-10 days.

EDGE Analysis

Burrows recently landed on the IL with right elbow neuritis. He will be sidelined for at least the next few weeks.

The Astros placed Mike Burrows on the 15-day injured list with right elbow neuritis.

EDGE Analysis

Burrows was originally optioned to Triple-A, but he instead now lands on the IL. He does not hold a timetable to return.

The Astros nullified Burrows' previous optional assignment to Triple-A Sugar Land and placed him on the 15-day injured list Monday due to right elbow neuritis, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burrows didn't make any appearance for Sugar Land after being optioned to the affiliate last Tuesday, which enabled the team to reverse the prior transaction and place him on the IL instead. The right-hander has posted a 5.99 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 75:35 K:BB across 94.2 innings over his 18 appearances (17 starts) with Houston this season, and he'll likely be headed back to Sugar Land once he fully recovers from the elbow injury.

The Astros optioned Burrows to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burrows tied a season worst with seven earned runs allowed Monday against the Nationals, giving him a 6.84 ERA and 5.9 K/9 across his past 10 appearances. The right-hander was acquired from the Pirates during the offseason after posting a 3.94 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 97:31 K:BB over 96 innings during 2025, but he'll likely need to get back on track at Sugar Land before getting another look in the Astros' rotation.

Burrows (4-9) took the loss Monday, allowing 10 runs (seven earned) on nine hits and two walks over 4.1 innings against Washington. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Burrows was absolutely thrashed by the Washington offense, matching a season high with seven earned runs allowed. The right-hander has struggled immensely to keep the ball in the yard, serving up multiple homers in eight of his 18 outings this season after surrendering two long balls Monday. With a 5.99 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 75:35 K:BB across 94.2 innings, Burrows is projected to make one more start before the All-Star break, tentatively scheduled for Sunday at Texas.

Burrows (4-8) completed five innings against Minnesota on Tuesday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three batters to earn the win.

EDGE Analysis

Burrows had a rough beginning to his outing, allowing three runs on two hits in the first frame. He rebounded pretty well from there, holding the Twins scoreless over his following three innings before giving up one more run in the fifth. The right-hander logged just three punchouts, continuing a disappointing campaign so far on the strikeout front -- after posting a 9.1 K/9 across 96 innings with Pittsburgh last year, he's at a meager 7.2 K/9 through 90.1 frames this season. Beyond that, Burrows has regressed in his ratios as well, and he now holds a poor 5.58 ERA and 1.51 WHIP through 17 appearances (16 starts).

Burrows did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jays, allowing one run on two hits and one walk with three strikeouts over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Burrows allowed a run in the first inning but cruised from there, retiring the final seven batters he faced and logging his first quality start since May 27. The 26-year-old seems to have benefited from having his turn in the rotation skipped last time around after allowing 16 runs (13 earned) through his first three June starts. He'll carry a 5.48 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 69:31 K:BB across 85.1 innings this season into a home matchup with the Twins next week.

Burrows is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

After having his turn in the rotation skipped over the weekend, Burrows was available out of the bullpen for the Astros' three-game series with the Guardians and tossed a scoreless inning in his lone relief appearance Friday. He'll now move back into a starting role during the upcoming week, but Burrows may need a strong showing in Toronto in order to maintain his spot in the rotation on a more permanent basis. Cristian Javier (shoulder) completed his fourth rehab start Sunday and could be ready to return from the 60-day injured list as soon as next weekend, which would appear to leave Burrows or Kai-Wei Teng most in danger of shifting to the bullpen.

The Astros will skip Burrows' next turn in the rotation, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burrows has been tagged for 16 runs (13 earned) while serving up five home runs over 15 innings covering his last three starts. He's posted a 5.86 ERA and 1.58 WHIP in 14 outings this season. Burrows will be available out of the bullpen this weekend, and the righty indicated he plans to piggyback behind Tatsuya Imai on Friday night against the Guardians. While Burrows could rejoin the rotation next week, his role is tenuous with Cristian Javier (shoulder) due back soon.
