Astros expect Feldman to be out 6 weeks

HOUSTON -- The Astros placed right-handed pitcher Scott Feldman on the 15-day disabled list Friday after he underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn right medial meniscus earlier in the day. He's expected to be out about six weeks, the club said.

Houston also recalled Michael Feliz from Double-A Corpus Christi.

Feldman (4-4, 4.80 ERA in 10 starts) sustained the injury during his start Tuesday at Baltimore while fielding a ground ball. He had ice on the knee after the game, but said at the time he didn't think it was anything to worry about.
