Feldman gets cortisone shot in ailing shoulder

OAKLAND -- Scott Feldman met with Astros' team doctors Tuesday and received a cortisone shot to help relieve right shoulder inflammation, manager A.J. Hinch said Wednesday.

The Astos skipper added Feldman was scheduled to fly back to Houston Wednesday night to get a second doctor's opinion on his ailing shoulder. It's possible Feldman could need another cortisone shot, Hinch said.

"He's going to get more testing done," Hinch said.

The Astros' right-hander left his last start on Sept. 1 after feeling discomfort in his shoulder and experienced similar symptoms when he tried to play catch on Saturday.
