Doug Brocail-R- Astros

Oct. 30 - 2:58 pm et

Astros declined RHP Doug Brocail's $2.85 million option for 2010.

Houston will give him a $250,000 buyout instead, making the 42-year-old right-hander a free agent. Brocail was very effective in 2008, but missed most of this season with hamstring and shoulder injuries, posting a 4.58 ERA and 9/13 K/BB ratio in 17 2/3 innings. He should be able to land a middle relief gig somewhere, but may opt for retirement rather than a minor league deal.

Doug Brocail-R - Astros

Sep. 29 - 1:20 pm et

Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports that Doug Brocail is undecided about his future.

Brocail, 42, says an MRI on his right shoulder should provide some clarity. "It all depends what the MRI says at the end of the season," said Brocail. "I've had a good run of luck lately, but health is the main concern. If I'm healthy, I'd like to play again. If not, I'll see." Brocail has missed nearly two-thirds of the season with various maladies, ranging from a sprained right shoulder to a left hamstring strain. He has a 2.70 ERA and 9/13 K/BB ratio in 16 2/3 innings this season. Regardless of a comeback, it's unlikely the Astros will pick up his $2.85 million for 2010.

Astros activated RHP Doug Brocail from the 15-day disabled list.

Brocail has been sidelined since August 7 due to a right shoulder strain, his second trip to the disabled list this season. It's been a lost year for the 42-year-old, as he has a 5.40 ERA in just 8 1/3 innings this season.

Doug Brocail (shoulder) threw a successful simulated game Thursday and is aiming to begin a rehab assignment next week.

Brocail has been sidelined since August 7 with a right shoulder strain and is hoping to return in early September. "I felt really good," the veteran reliever said after Thursday's short workout. "I think I gave up a bomb and a couple of hits, but I felt good. I can't complain one bit."

Doug Brocail (shoulder) isn't expected to return until September.

Brocail has been on the disabled list since August 7 with a right shoulder strain and still has some rehab steps to take. "He's got to throw a few (bullpen sessions)," said Astros manager Cecil Cooper. "He might even have to throw a simulated (game). We've got to build him back up."

Doug Brocail-R - Astros

Aug. 7 - 6:33 pm et

Astros placed RHP Doug Brocail on the 15-day disabled list with a right shoulder strain.

Back he goes. Brocail just spent close to two months recovering from a hamstring strain and is expected to miss at least three weeks with this new injury. It's becoming a lost season for the 42-year-old reliever, who has a 5.40 ERA and a 2.40 WHIP in 8 1/3 innings out of Houston's bullpen.
