Astros' Kendall Graveman to Miss 2024 Season Due to Shoulder Surgery

The Houston Astros face a challenging season ahead as key relief pitcher Kendall Graveman undergoes shoulder surgery, intensifying the team's bullpen uncertainties.

Relief pitcher Kendall Graveman, who was expected to be a key player for the Houston Astros in the 2024 season, will miss the entire season due to shoulder surgery.
This is the second time Graveman has faced shoulder troubles, having missed the 2023 postseason due to similar issues.
The Astros' bullpen is already facing uncertainty with Hector Neris, Phil Maton, and Ryne Stanek on the open market.
Fans are calling for the Astros to sign free agents, specifically urging the organization to re-sign Hector Neris.
Despite the setback, Astros' general manager Dana Brown is confident in the team's internal candidates but is still open to adding to the bullpen depth via free agency or trade.
