Houston Astros starting pitcher Gerrit Cole has been placed on the bereavement list.
Cole punched out 11 batters over six scoreless innings against the Oakland Athletics on Monday but he will now be away from the team for 3-7 days. Jake Marisnick was recalled from Triple-A Fresno in a corresponding roster move.
Cole owns a 9-2 record and is averaging 46.3 FanDuel points through 19 starts this season while recording a 2.57 ERA and 0.97 WHIP with 169 strikeouts and 41 walks across 122 2/3 innings.
