Sent to IL with arm fatigue
The Astros placed Imai on the 15-day injured list Monday with right arm fatigue.
Анализ
Imai recorded just one out in his last start and looks to be going through a "dead arm" phase. The right-hander will be eligible for activation before the end of April, but it's unclear at this juncture whether he will be ready to go by that time. Houston's rotation depth is really being tested, as Imai joins Hunter Brown (shoulder) and Cristian Javier (shoulder) on the 15-day IL. The club also has Ronel Blanco (elbow), Hayden Wesneski (elbow) and Brandon Walter (elbow) on the 60-day IL.

Having right arm examined
Imai travelled to Houston on Saturday and will be examined by team physicians for his "tired arm," Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Анализ
Imai is the third Astros pitcher to fly back to Houston during the team's road trip, with Hunter Brown (shoulder) and Cristian Javier (shoulder) both landing on the 15-day injured list in the past week. The Astros' rotation is beginning to look thin, with Mike Burrows and Lance McCullers currently the only starters without an injury designation. Imai has a 7.27 ERA through 8.2 innings this season, and the Astros should provide a medical update on the 27-year-old once he undergoes more tests.

Chased in first inning
Imai allowed three runs on one hit, four walks and a hit batsman over one-third of an inning in a no-decision Friday versus the Mariners. He didn't record a strikeout.
Анализ
Imai's control was absent Friday, as he threw just 17 of 37 pitches for strikes. The first run he allowed came on a wild pitch, and he hit Randy Arozarena with the bases loaded to force in the second run. Imai has had mixed results in his first taste of major-league action so far, pitching to a 7.27 ERA over 8.2 innings while adding a 13:11 K:BB. He's walked at least three batters in all three of his starts. Imai is tentatively lined up to make his next start at home versus the Rockies, as the Astros' injury-riddled rotation likely doesn't have the manpower to shelter him.
