Houston Astros right-hander J.P. France will undergo surgery on his throwing shoulder Monday.
France opened the season with the Astros, but was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land and made one start there when he was placed on the injured list in early May.
He resumed throwing recently after being shut down for about a month, but had a setback this week leading to the decision to have surgery.
France was 0-3 with a 7.46 ERA in five starts for the Astros this season before his demotion.
