Houston starter Urquidy placed on IL with shoulder injury
HOUSTON (AP) — Houston Astros right-hander Jose Urquidy was placed on the 15-day injured list with a sore right shoulder before the start of a series against the San Francisco Giants on Monday.
Urquidy left Sunday's start in the sixth inning after feeling discomfort in the shoulder.

Urquidy is 2-2 with a 5.20 ERA in six starts. He allowed three hits and two runs to get the win Sunday night. In his previous start, he gave up seven hits and six runs over 2 2/3 innings.
