The Astros announced to reporters, including , that left-hander underwent surgery to addre s thoracic outlet syndrome yesterday. He will mi s the entire 2024 season. Sousa, 29 on Saturday, has only been with the Astros since September when he was claimed off waivers from the Tigers. But the club is clearly fond of him, as general manager Dana Brown that Sousa likely would have made their playoff roster last year if he had been acquired prior to the Hyeon-jong Yang Jersey September 1 eligibility cutoff date. That strong reputation with the club would have put him in a good spot to earn a notable role in their bullpen this year but he started the season on the 15-day injured list due to left shoulder inflammation. It seems that further testing revealed a more specific diagnosis and the recommendation of surgery. Sousa has 29 1/3 innings pitched in his major league career with a 7.06 earned run average in that small sample. He started 2023 with the White Sox but rode the roster carousel to the Reds, Brewers and Tigers before landing with the Astros. He to sed nine major league innings on the year with four earned runs allowed, striking out 10 and walking two. He also to sed 20 1/3 minor league innings with a 4.43 ERA, 33.3% strikeout rate and 10.3% walk rate. The news of the surgery and mi sed season is obviously tough for Sousa, but it comes with a silver lining. Hell spend the year on the major league injured list collecting big league pay and service time, a notable thing for a guy who came into 2024 with le s than a year of service. The Astros will transfer him to the 60-day IL whenever they need his roster spot for another transaction. Other than , the only left-handed reliever on the 40-man other than Sousa is , so perhaps the club will keep an eye on the waiver wire for southpaws. Russell Wilson Jersey
