Free agent Brandon Backe fully intends to pitch in 2011.
Backe was diagnosed with a partial thickness tear of his right rotator cuff in July of 2009 and has not pitched since. He registered a poor 6.05 ERA and 1.67 WHIP in 31 starts back in 2008 -- his last full season. It's doubtful that he will be able to find anything more than a minor league deal.

Free agent Brandon Backe has been diagnosed with a partial thickness tear of his right rotator cuff and will seek a second opinion on his shoulder.
If Backe opts for surgery, the Astros would have to pay for it, even though they released him at the end of last month. Even if he chooses to rehab, it's doubtful that he'll pitch in the majors again this year.
Thu, Jul 9, 2009 09:24:00 PM
Brewers GM Doug Melvin told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Tom Haudricourt that he has no interest in the recently-released Brandon Backe.
Brewers assistant general manager Gord Ash said Tuesday that the club might "take a look" at the former Astro, but it sounds like Milwaukee never had serious interest. Backe, 31, had a 10.38 ERA in 13 innings with the Astros this season. He was granted his release over the weekend. This bit of news bodes well for Mike Burns' chances of sticking with the team.

Brewers assistant GM Gord Ash said the team will "take a look" at Brandon Backe after he was released by the Astros.
Mike Burns' solid outing against the Mets on Tuesday may change the team's plans. Backe sported a 10.38 ERA in 13 innings with Houston and carries a career 5.23 ERA into free agency. The Brewers would be better off keeping their fingers crossed with Burns.

Sidelined
Jake Marisnick (thumb) played catch again Thursday.
Marisnick has also been running and shagging fly balls for the past week, though he has yet to grip a bat. The 26-year-old outfielder suffered a fractured right thumb in mid-September and seems doubtful to play in another game this year, even if the Astros advance to the World Series. Marisnick will be arbitration-eligible for the second time this winter after earning a $1.1 million salary in 2017.

Brady Rodgers
60-Day DL
Astros recalled RHP Brady Rodgers from Triple-A Fresno, placed him on the 60-day disabled list.
The 26-year-old hurler underwent Tommy John surgery in May and will be sidelined until the middle of the 2018 season. By placing him on the 60-day DL though, the Astros are able to free up a spot on the 40-man roster.

David Paulino
60-Day DL
Astros reinstated RHP David Paulino from the suspended list; placed him on the 60-day disabled list with bone spurs in his right elbow.
Paulino is back from his steroid suspension, but he had surgery last Friday to have the spurs in his pitching elbow removed. He's expected to be ready for spring training.

60-Day DL
Jandel Gustave underwent season-ending surgery on his right elbow Wednesday in Houston.
It was a UCL reconstruction procedure, which sounds a lot like Tommy John surgery. Gustave landed on the disabled list April 20 after experiencing tightness in his right forearm and he'll now remain sidelined until sometime in 2018.
