There’s a wide range of potential recovery timelines depending on the severity of the strain, but it’ll be a lengthy absence, even on the milder side of the spectrum.

Mena was thrust into action in the sixth inning on Sunday after Corbin Burnes exited with an injury. He went on to allow just one hit and one walk over two scoreless frames while striking out a pair of batters. He has yet to allow an earned run over 5 2/3 innings with the Diamondbacks this season while posting a 0.53 WHIP and a 7/2 K/BB ratio. If he keeps it up, he could work his way into a high-leverage role at the back of the Diamondbacks’ bullpen.

The 28-year-old right-hander threw 15 pitches during the session at the team’s spring training facility. He’s not expected to be ready to rejoin the Astros until around the All-Star break at the earliest, but it’s still a major hurdle to clear in his recovery process. He’ll continue to ramp up down in Florida before eventually heading out on a minor league rehab assignment.
