Brad Peacock (shoulder) on Astros' shelf until mid-August

Houston Astros starting pitcher Brad Peacock (shoulder) will likely be sidelined until mid-August, general manager Jeff Luhnow said Sunday.

What It Means:

"I don’t think he'll be back this month," Luhnow said. "I think he’ll be back more middle of next month, realistically." Peacock hasn't pitched since June 27 due to a right shoulder injury.

The 31-year-old right-hander is 6-6 in 15 starts this season. He owns a 4.13 ERA and 1.15 WHIP with 89 strikeouts and 25 walks over 85 innings.
