Ronel Blanco of Houston Astros Placed on 15-Day Injured List Due to Elbow Inflammation

Ronel Blanco's injury comes after dealing with elbow soreness just a day earlier, making it a recurring issue. This season, Blanco has pitched in nine games with a 3-4 record, an ERA of 4.10, and a WHIP of 1.18. He has also maintained a streak of scoring 24 or more FanDuel points in five straight games.

With Blanco out, the Houston Astros may need to rely more on other starting pitchers like Framber Valdez and Hunter Brown. The team has an upcoming home game against the Seattle Mariners on May 22. Blanco's absence could impact the rotation and how the Astros approach this game.
