Houston Astros news, rumors and injuriesSat, 25 May 2013 11:58:02 -0700 Updating a previous report, Houston Astros minor league 1B/OF Jonathan Singleton will report to Class A Quad Cities Monday, May 27. Share: Astros | Justin Maxwell takes swings Fri, 24 May 2013 14:04:04 -0700 Houston Astros OF Justin Maxwell (hand) took 20 hacks in the batting cages Friday, May 24, and he will go on a rehab assignment with Single-A Quad Cities next week. Share: Astros | Bud Norris doesn't expect to miss start Wed, 22 May 2013 19:52:57 -0700 Houston Astros SP Bud Norris (back) said Wednesday, May 22, that he does not expect to miss his next scheduled start despite leaving his past two outings due to lower back spasms. "I really don't want to (miss the next start). I think the prevention process of taking care of it now and getting me out of the game will help," Norris said. Fantasy Tip: Norris has left each of his past two starts early. It might be a good idea to reserve him in all fantasy formats until he can make it through one full outing without any setbacks or disruptions. Share: Astros | Chris Carter offers flexibility Wed, 22 May 2013 19:52:15 -0700 Houston Astros manager Bo Porter said Wednesday, May 22, that he likes to use 1B Chris Carter at first base and 1B Carlos Pena as the designated hitter, even though Pena is the better defensive player, because he enjoys the option of moving Carter to the outfield late in games if needed.
