Tatsuya Imai: Breaking News

Throws off mound

Imai (arm) threw a bullpen session Monday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. It appears to be the first time he has thrown off the mound since landed on the 15-day injured list a week ago with right arm fatigue. The Astros haven't revealed the next steps for Imai, but it will likely involve facing hitters and perhaps making a rehab start or two. Imai holds a 7.27 ERA and 13:11 K:BB over his first 8.2 innings with Houston.

Plays catch Thursday

Imai (arm) played catch at Daikin Park on Thursday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. Imai landed on the injured list Monday due to right arm fatigue, but imaging came back clean and he has begun a throwing progression. The right-hander is eligible to return later this month, but a timetable for Imai rejoining the Astros' rotation won't be available until he further ramps things up.

Imaging comes back clean

Imaging on Imai's right arm came back negative, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports. Imai landed on the injured list Monday due to right arm fatigue, but he doesn't appear to be dealing with a structural issue. The team now plans to build up the 27-year-old's arm strength before having him begin a throwing progression. It remains unclear how soon he will be able to return to the Astros' rotation.
