CHICAGO (AP) — The Houston Astros placed reliever LaTroy Hawkins on the 15-day disabled list because of shingles in his back.
Hawkins last pitched in Monday night’s 5-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs and was ejected by home plate umpire Mike Everitt in the eighth inning for arguing balls and strikes. He was ejected after Everitt called his second pitch to Aramis Ramirez a ball.
Hawkins is 1-4 with a 2.32 ERA. He has 10 saves in 13 opportunities.
Houston manager Cecil Cooper said Tuesday before the Astros played the Cubs, “Hawkins has pitched through a lot of pain.”
Hawkins has not allowed a run in 12 of his last 13 appearances.
