Astros' Forrest Whitley: To miss up to four months

Whitley (lat) is expected to miss 3-to-4 months, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Whitley was placed on the injured list last week at Triple-A Sugar Land after suffering a right lat strain, and now the Astros have provided an estimated recovery timeline for the oft-injured 25-year-old former top prospect. It's possible Whitley won't pitch again this season if his recovery extends into September.
