Gregerson on Family Medical Leave; Wojo in relief

Luke Gregerson is on family medical leave. Asher Wojciechowski has been recalled to the bullpen.

Sometime today Luke Gregerson was put on family medical leave by the Houston Astros. At this point the reasoning has not been disclosed. The TCB team is hopeful that all will resolve and he'll be back quickly. Per the rules of family medical leave, Gregerson will miss at least three games and no more than seven. He could return to face the Giants next Tuesday.

While Gregerson is out, Chad Qualls will be the interim closer provided the matchup is appropriate, according to statements from skipper AJ Hinch given to MLB's Brian McTaggart.
