West Sacramento — The Houston Astros placed ace right-hander Hunter Brown on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to April 2, with a right shoulder strain, the team announced Sunday ahead of their 12-10 walk-off loss to the A's. The 27-year-old, who finished third in AL Cy Young voting last season, first felt discomfort during a bullpen session Friday, underwent imaging in West Sacramento, then flew to Houston for further evaluation by team doctors. Manager Joe Espada said no timetable for Brown's return is available until further diagnosis.
