The Houston Astros have avoided the injury bug, for the most part, this season. After last night’s game, two players now have nagging injuries with Luis Valbuena‘s and Carlos Gomez. Valbuena suffered the hamstring injury Tuesday night as he fell midway running to first base. It was very dramatic, but it appears that he has avoided serious injury for now. Brian McTaggart reported that Valbuena would be unavailable Friday night versus the Tigers.
Gomez’s injury was a little less dramatic, but he suffered the injury while stealing a base in the second inning.
