The Astros placed Walter on the 15-day injured list Friday due to left elbow inflammation.

Walter made a seven-inning start Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, but his arm didn't recover as expected, and he'll require a stint on the IL. Houston recalled reliever Nick Hernandez from Triple-A Sugar Land in a corresponding move, but it's unclear who will take Walter's spot in the rotation.
