Musgrove (shoulder) won't be activated from the disabled list when eligible ahead of Tuesday's game against the Royals, Hunter Atkins of the Houston Chronicle reports. "We're just not ready to ramp up Musgrove yet," Astros manager A.J. Hinch said on Sunday. "He's feeling better than when we put him on the DL. We're going to push him back continually and see where he fits later in the week."
After Musgrove was placed on the DL on May 31, the expectation was that he would only miss one start with the sore shoulder, but since he has yet to resume throwing, the Astros decided to push back his recovery timetable. Musgrove received a cortisone shot Friday to address the soreness, so if that ends up having the desired effect, the right-hander could throw in the next couple of days and rejoin the rotation by next weekend. David Paulino will pick up another start Tuesday while Musgrove remains sidelined.
