Astros loses another jug ​​against injuries if the rotation crisis deteriorates

What Blanco has to do with Beyond Elbow pain is unclear, but if a pitcher with elbow pain goes, this is not a good sign. Since he is back to Houston to be seen by team doctors, there is a good chance that Blanco will at least end up on the IL.

If/if this happens, Blanco will close a ridiculous list of starting jugs that is already out.

Ronel Blanco is the latest Astros start jug that is bitten by the injury bug

Spencer Arrighetti, JP France, Luis Garcia, Cristian Javier and Hayden Wesneski are all starting jugs on the IL. This is a full five-man rotation, and frankly it would be a solid if they were healthy. Blanco is exposed to a high risk of joining them.

What is the most about the assembly list of injuries is the kind of injuries that have suffered the jugs. Arrighetti suffered a broken thumb in a freak accident, but the other four jugs have to deal with severe arm injuries, and three of these four are on the road after an operation by Tommy John. In view of this, it is difficult not to worry about the fact that Blanco has to put the same procedure, which would turn it off for the rest of this season and possibly the entire next season.

The Astros have their two best starter, Hunter Brown and Framber Valdez, healthy and produce, but the depth is now missing because they have to do with a number of injuries. Blanco was her No. 3 starters at the moment. This injury will probably change this.

Blanco was not as good as in his 2024 campaign, but he has a 4.10 -era in nine starts and 48.1 work this season. He approved three or less in all of his excursion and threw eight -goals in our strikes against the Cincinnati Reds with eleven strikes 10 days ago.

Blanco lacked time, especially in view of Houston's rotation, a frustrating development. Yes, they have Brown and Valdez, but the other healthy members of their rotation are rookie Ryan Gusto and Lance McCullers Jr., who recently returned with their own injury from several years and did not go beyond four inner ones.

It is really difficult to go through a full season of 162 games with just two trustworthy starters, but when Blanco IL is bound, the Astros has to find a way to push through. This could mean that Dana Brown becomes aggressive and takes a step just to give them a kind of depth. At the moment, Astros fans can hope that Blanco will avoid the worst.
