Good news for Scott Feldman and the Houston Astros arrived Wednesday.

The right-hander, who left Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners with discomfort in his right shoulder, underwent an MRI that revealed no structural damage, reports Jose de Jesus Ortiz of the Houston Chronicle.

"Just irritated and inflamed but no tears, so that's always good," Feldman said. "I think right now we're saying two or three days of not picking up a ball.

"Hopefully from there it just feels good. We'll go from there and pretend we just had a couple of days off and I'll get back in the mix."

Feldman will likely miss just one start.

The 32-year-old is 5-5 with a 3.90 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in 18 starts for the American League West-leading Astros.
