SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) — Houston Astros left-hander Wandy Rodriguez was scratched from his scheduled start Monday against the Baltimore Orioles after being diagnosed with mild tendinitis in his right shoulder.
Astros manager Brad Mills said the Astros would shut Rodriguez down “for a few days.”
Rodriguez has allowed nine earned runs, six in his first start, over 8 2-3 innings of three starts this spring. He was 11-12 with a 3.60 ERA in 32 starts for Houston last season.
