Astros get good news on two injured players
TL;DR
The Houston Astros placed pitcher Tatsuya Imai and shortstop Jeremy Peña on the injured list due to arm fatigue and a Grade 1 hamstring strain, respectively. The injuries are considered relatively minor, with Imai's condition suggesting minimal damage.
The Houston Astros placed two injured players — pitcher Tatsuya Imai and shortstop Jeremy Peña — on the injured list April 13. The initial announcement could have been much worse.
Imai is going on the 15-day injured list with right arm fatigue. Peña is going on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 1 hamstring strain. A Grade 1 strain is the least serious a hamstring injury can be, a relatively minor ailment compared to a Grade 2 or 3 tear.

Imai’s IL announcement suggests minimal structural damage, if any — the opposite prognosis of one that is likely to result in surgery.
To take their place on the active roster, the Astros called up pitcher Colton Gordon, outfielder Shay Whitcomb, and infielder J.P. France from Triple-A Sugar Land. They also optioned reliever Jayden Murray to their top farm team.
