Houston's Feldman to miss about 6 weeks after knee surgery (The Associated Press)

HOUSTON (AP) -- Houston right-hander Scott Feldman is expected to miss about six weeks after arthroscopic surgery on his right knee.

Feldman was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Friday after having surgery to repair a torn medial meniscus. He was injured fielding a ground ball in his last start on Tuesday. Feldman, who is in his second year in Houston, is 4-4 with a 4.80 ERA in 10 starts this year.

Manager A.J. Hinch says: ''He's a really stable part of our club. So losing him for five or six weeks is a tough blow.
