Houston Astros pitcher Jose Urquidy is expected to undergo Tommy John surgery after being shut down in spring training due to a forearm strain. The team is awaiting a second opinion from Dr. Keith Meister, but the expectation is that he will need a reconstructive procedure. Urquidy, who has not pitched this season, was on a minor league rehab assignment but experienced forearm soreness during his third appearance. The Astros are facing challenges with multiple pitchers on the injured list, including Justin Verlander and Cristian Javier.
