The Astros announce good news and bad news in recent pitching shuffle.

While the pitching staff has taken some blows due to injuries, the Houston Astros have moved back to the more common eight-man bullpen. Andre Scrubb was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right shoulder strain that is retroactive to July 17. As a corresponding move, Garrett Stubbs was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land.

With Jose Urquidy throwing on flat ground, the organization anticipates the right-hander to be nearing a rehab assignment.
