Burrows (elbow/shoulder) is considered healthy and could be included on the Astros' wild-card roster versus the White Sox, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Burrows initially landed on the injured list in mid-July with right elbow inflammation, and he later came down with shoulder inflammation. The right-hander has since recovered from those injuries, and Houston is mulling the possibility of adding Burrows to its postseason roster. Burrows has logged an ugly 5.99 ERA and 75:35 K:BB over 94.2 innings in the majors this season and has made only one game appearance over the past month. The fact that the Astros are considering adding him to the mix shows the state of the team's pitching staff.

The Astros returned Burrows (elbow/shoulder) from his rehab assignment Monday.
Burrows landed on the injured list in mid-July with right elbow inflammation, and he suffered a setback with his shoulder at the beginning of September that has extended his stint on the IL. He was cleared to restart his rehab assignment Saturday and pitched two shutout innings, but the fact that the Astros have again halted his assignment without activating him doesn't bode well for his chances of returning in the regular season.

The Astros transferred Burrows (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.
Burrows' move to the 60-day IL opens a 40-man roster spot for Jorge Barrosa, who was claimed off waivers from the Diamondbacks. While this transaction itself does not take Burrows out through the remainder of the regular season, he recently experienced a setback with his shoulder while rehabbing an elbow injury at Triple-A, and it's unclear at this point if he will make it back in 2026.

Astros manager Joe Espada said that Burrows (elbow) was diagnosed with inflammation in his right shoulder after undergoing an MRI on Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
After covering 4.1 innings and 77 pitches in his third rehab start with Triple-A Sugar Land last Wednesday, Burrows looked primed to return from the 15-day injured list and slot back into the Houston rotation this week. However, with Burrows experiencing discomfort in his shoulder while playing catch Monday, he'll now have his activation from the IL delayed indefinitely. The Astros will likely have Burrows rest for at least the next few days with the hope that the inflammation subsides and he's able to start throwing again.

Burrows (elbow) struck out seven and allowed three earned runs on seven hits and two walks across 4.1 innings in his third rehab start with Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday.
After looking dominant in his first two rehab outings with eight strikeouts and just four hits allowed across nine shutout frames, Burrows ran into a bit more turbulence Wednesday. He was at least able to handle a sizable workload, tossing 77 pitches (52 strikes) on the night while inducing nine whiffs. Though the Astros have an opening in the rotation for Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Ronel Blanco will be recalled from Triple-A to make the spot start, per Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. With that in mind, Burrows could be in line for another outing in the minors before returning from the 15-day injured list and potentially slotting into the Houston rotation.

Burrows (elbow) will make a third rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Sugar Land, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Wednesday's start should represent the final tune-up outing that Burrows requires before coming back from the 15-day injured list and potentially moving back into the Houston rotation. The 26-year-old righty has been exceptional during his first two appearances for Sugar Land, tossing nine scoreless innings while posting an 8:3 K:BB and giving up just four hits.
