Gets back on mound Astros general manager James Click said Scrubb (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Thursday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact Click reiterated that Scrubb will be back soon, meaning the right-hander is seemingly still tracking toward a mid-April return from the 10-day injured list, just as Astros pitching coach Brent Strom had suggested prior to Opening Day. Scrubb posted a 1.90 ERA in 23.2 innings as a rookie last season, but a 1.48 WHIP, 7.6 BB/9 and .212 BABIP suggest that ERA might be a bit of a mirage.

Hits 10-day injured list Scrubb (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Scrubb was slowed in camp by shoulder soreness. He's been throwing since Friday, but he didn't have enough time to get fully up to speed by the start of the regular season. Scrubb is expected to be ready to go sometime in mid-April.

Resumes throwing Scrubb is dealing with minor fatigue in his right shoulder and returned to throwing Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 26-year-old has been sidelined for the past week by the shoulder issue, but he avoided any structural issues and is now progressing toward his return. Scrubb isn't expected to be ready for Opening Day but shouldn't face an extended absence.

Unlikely to be ready by Opening Day Scrubb (shoulder) isn't likely to be ready for Opening Day, Adam Spolane of SportsRadio 610 reports.
Impact Scrubb has been sidelined over the past few days due to right shoulder inflammation, but he could return to the mound soon once the inflammation subsides. However, manager Dusty Baker revealed Wednesday that Scrubb likely won't be ready for game action by the start of the regular season. A timetable for him to make his season debut isn't yet known.

Impact Scrubb is ostensibly vying for the final spot in the bullpen. He posted a 1.90 ERA over 23.2 innings during the truncated season, which would seemingly make him a lock for the pen, but the results came with warning signs. His 20 walks and 7.6 BB/9 were concerning as was his noisy delivery, which he's "quieted down" per Strom.
