The Houston Astros placed starting pitcher Framber Valdez on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with left elbow inflammation.
Valdez was scratched from Monday's scheduled start versus the Texas Rangers due to left elbow soreness. Astros manager Joe Espada said Valdez will be shut down from throwing for a few days, so the lefty may need more than the minimum 15 days off.
Valdez is averaging 31.1 FanDuel points through two starts. He allowed 3 runs on 11 hits, with 10 strikeouts and 6 walks, across 12 1/3 innings.
