Forrest Whitley Placed on 15-Day Injured List Due to Left Knee Sprain

Forrest Whitley has been placed on the 15-day injured list, which marks a repeated issue with his knee. This is the second time this season that Whitley has faced a knee injury, having already missed the start of the 2025 season. His absence could impact the Astros' pitching rotation.

In the 2025 regular season, Whitley has pitched 2 innings, with an ERA of 0.00 and a WHIP of 0.00. He has recorded 2 strikeouts with a K/9 of 9.00. With Whitley out, the Astros may need to rely on other starting pitchers like Framber Valdez and Hunter Brown for upcoming games, including the one against the Kansas City Royals.
